My Bose QC-35 II headphones burst into flames and left me with chemical burns
It would be good to see an autopsy, to find out if it&#x27;s actually the battery that went into thermal runaway, or something else that shorted and dumped all of its energy.<p><i>I have no idea how much heavy metals I&#x27;ve been exposed to by inhaling the toxic smoke. I don&#x27;t know how much smoke my pregnant wife inhaled. I worry how much chemical residue is on my desk, floor, walls, how much is getting recycled by my HVAC system, how much exposure my pets had.</i><p>That sort of paranoia doesn&#x27;t help. In fact it may cause psychosomatic symptoms (nocebo effect). You&#x27;ve probably inhaled far worse if you&#x27;ve ever been to a barbeque, gas station, or just took a walk in one of the more crowded areas of the city.
