Technology institute warns of digital device accidents amid a series of fires

The National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (NITE) has issued a warning about dangers from foreign objects in USB connectors causing fires, following incidents like overheating tablets after falls or juice-related short circuits. These issues occurred due to the "giga school" program distributing devices widely among students, with cases such as a boy’s burn from a dropped tablet and a school fire linked to liquid entry. NITE emphasizes that even minor injuries can be dangerous and urges caution, urging adults to monitor children for unusual connector behavior.
