Why are we discussing this here?
A bagel sitting on a shelf isn't going to cut you up.
Bose QC-35 II headphones, apparently, may catch on fire and cause chemical burns when touched.
Analogies are great for illustrating a point, but if you say "this thing is just like that other one", you need to argue why that's the case first.
- quesera 5y agoProduct, in ordinary usage, might be implicated in injury to user. I don't have an argument here, except that bagels might be a better example than avocados, because bagels are a manufactured product. In either case, a knife is required for the injury to occur, so I agree that the comparison to spontaneous headphone combustion is not great.

- romwell 5y agoThe charger needs not be present for injury. If you really want to stick to the bagel analogy, it's as if the bagel stabbed you back with a knife after you cut it and set the knife aside. I hope you would find such backstabbing bagels problematic.
