Are these potential killers lurking in your home?
Samsung has told owners of the Galaxy Note 7 to turn them off while it investigates a second wave of reports that the phones have been catching fire.
Last month, the company recalled and replaced 2.5 million phones after owners complained that their batteries were exploding.
However, in some cases even the replacement phones caught fire, including one that started smoking on a Southwest Airlines flight, causing the plane to be evacuated.
As recently as Monday, the company was insisting that the phones were safe to use. But it's now stopping production and sales - as well as telling owners that they should turn them off for safety's sake.
The culprit is believed to be the lithium battery, which may be short-circuiting, causing the phone to overheat or even explode.
But the Galaxy Note 7 is by no means the only potentially-dangerous electrical item to be lurking in your home.
Tumble dryers
For nearly a year now, it's been known that millions of Hotpoint, Indesit and Creda tumble dryers - manufactured by Whirlpool - have had a serious fault that can cause them to catch fire. And while the company's working to repair and replace them, many people are having to wait months. Recently, one machine awaiting repair caused a massive fire in a tower block.
Dishwashers
Earlier this year, insurer NFU Mutual said that, in its experience, ovens and dishwashers caused more than twice as many fires as tumble driers in 2015. In 2013, Bosch said that almost half a million potentially dangerous dishwashers sold between 1999 and 2005 were still being used because the owners couldn't be traced.
E-cigarettes
There have been a number of reports of e-cigarette chargers that have exploded whilst in use. In some cases, people have been injured while using the devices, with one plastic surgeon reporting having seen 'catastrophic injuries'.
Always look out for the CE mark that indicates chargers comply with European Safety standards, advises Electrical Safety First. Follow the instructions carefully, making sure you're using the correct charger. And don't over-tighten the connection to the rechargeable battery, as this can cause mechanical damage which can in turn create heat problems.
Microwaves
The top of a microwave might seem like a convenient place to store stuff - but that's something you should never do. Covering the vents - or even leaving them dirty or dusty - can cause a build-up of heat that can cause a fire.
