The company had replied to the user stating a users’ safety is the company’s priority and such incidents are taken seriously.

At this stage, our team contacted the customer as soon as the issue was notified and is awaiting his visit to the nearest service center”.

The brand further said, “ We are committed to examine the issue in detail, and extend all our support to the customer and resolve this on priority. All our devices go through various levels of stringent quality tests to ensure that the quality of the device is not compromised at any levels.”
