🚨 Viral TikTok Trend Sparks Serious Fire Safety Concerns 🚨
In today’s digital world, social media challenges can go viral in a matter of hours—but not all of them are harmless. A recent TikTok trend known as the “Chromebook Challenge” has raised alarms among fire safety professionals, educators, and parents. The challenge encourages students to insert metal objects like paperclips into Chromebook USB ports, which can cause devices to spark, overheat, and in some cases, catch fire.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recently published an in-depth article breaking down the dangers behind this disturbing trend. From technical explanations to real-life incidents, the NFPA outlines exactly why this is more than just a prank—and why schools and families need to take it seriously.
