OnePlus Nord 2 Battery Incident Causes Severe Burns in India

OnePlus Nord 2 Explosion Injures User in India

A disturbing incident involving the OnePlus Nord 2 has unfolded in India, where the device exploded while in a user’s pocket, causing severe burns and extensive skin damage to the owner’s thigh. The event occurred on November 3 and was first reported by user Suhit Sharma on Twitter, complete with photographic evidence showing extensive damage to both the phone and its protective case.

This is not an isolated case; multiple reports of the Nord 2 catching fire have surfaced over recent months. One earlier claim was later dismissed after the user removed their tweet following media attention. In another case, OnePlus issued a cease-and-desist letter, alleging the user was uncooperative during the investigation. Additionally, there have been instances of the phone’s 65W Warp Charger exploding, which OnePlus attributed to fluctuating external voltage, promptly offering replacements to affected users.

Despite the gravity of the latest incident, OnePlus has yet to release an official public statement. However, the company confirmed it is in contact with the affected user and is gathering details for further investigation. The situation has sparked fear among current Nord 2 owners, with some demanding a product recall and discontinuation.
