Sometimes when a device fails, it fails in spectacular fashion. Daniel Rotar, who leads the ZONEofTECH<\/a> YouTube channel, posted<\/a> on X today that the battery on his Samsung Galaxy Ring began swelling while he was wearing it. “I cannot take it off and this thing hurts,” he wrote. A few hours later, Rotar posted<\/a> again that he had gone to a hospital and received help to remove the smart ring. He also shared photos of the device that showed the swelling on the interior surface.<\/p>\n

We reached out to Samsung for comment and received this statement from a spokesperson: “The safety of our customers is a top priority and we are in direct contact with this user to learn more about their concerns. While experiences like this are extremely rare, there are a few ways to attempt removing a stuck ring, including soap and water \u2013 or submerging your hand in cold water. If these methods do not work, additional information is provided on our Samsung Support<\/a> page.”<\/p>\n

Current technologies aren’t perfect and a device’s battery can fail. When that happens, trapped gasses and heat can cause the battery to swell. It’s not a common problem, but it is a known one. There’s even a whole Reddit community dedicated to the phenomenon of these “spicy pillows<\/a>.” So here\u2019s a recurring reminder that if you\u2019ve got old gadgets you aren\u2019t using, consider recycling<\/a> them before they potentially reach this sort of fail state. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sometimes when a device fails, it fails in spectacular fashion.
