One person shared that she noticed smoke coming out of her vehicle after leaving a power bank inside the car one afternoon.
It turned out that the power bank overheated and burned some of her children's items and clothes.

To prevent this or any other worse scenarios, several reminded the public to always carry your power bank with you instead of leaving it in the car.
