[Instant News/Comprehensive Report]A 71-year-old woman in the United States living in Queens, New York, was using Apple’s 2019 MacBook Pro on her bed to file her taxes. Shocked, she immediately fled the house in her pajamas, but the fire spread quickly, the bedroom was burned down, and the kitchen was also affected by the fire. As a result, the skin on the old woman’s thigh was severely burned, and she eventually had to stay in a hotel for 10 months to be identified and repaired.

according to”According to the latest court documents, the 71-year-old woman, Linda Nahum, was using Apple’s 2019 MacBook Pro to file her taxes in bed one night in July 2020 when she suddenly felt burning knees. It was found that the entire comforter and sheet were on fire. Attorney Anna Higgins said Nahum, who lived alone, tried to put out the fire with water, but the fire spread so quickly that she rushed out of the room in her pajamas following calling the police.

By the time firefighters arrived, the fire had engulfed Nahum’s bedroom and spread into the kitchen. After the fire was extinguished, the entire apartment was also flooded. Higgins said Nahum was rushed to the hospital with severe burns on her thighs, adding to her desperation when authorities cordoned off her residence because it required an investigation and there were potential safety concerns. This made it impossible for her to go home and she was forced to live in a hotel for a full 10 months. Higgins said: “The fire destroyed everything she had, including her parents’ belongings. Her family members were limited, and everything that might be remembered was burned. Such a loss is incalculable.”

While the fire department said the fire might have been started by other appliances, Higgins’ attorney hired an independent expert who said the fire was started when the MacBook Pro’s battery overheated.

Apple recalled 15-inch MacBook Pros made between 2015 and 2017 in 2019 because their batteries might overheat and cause a fire, but the 2019 MacBook Pros are not subject to the recall.
