Charging your phone or laptop should not involve handling burnt leather or furniture.
This is why myCharge recalled 67 power banks last week.

The exact issue, as stated in the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's Notice of Recall: "The lithium-ion battery of powerbanks can overheat and ignite, resulting in a fire hazard and burns."
