A Bluetooth speaker filled a New Jersey room with smoke and burst into blazes, and the mother who got it on video is advising others with a similar gadget to get it out of their homes.
The lady said her girl had been in her room tuning in to music with the speaker on her bed, not connected to, and went into her mom's space to reveal to her the speaker was regurgitating white smoke.
"She came in calmly and stated, 'Hello, that thing is smoking,'" said Nichole Tatem.
Tatem said she thought her girl was joking, however, went into her room and saw the smoke. She said they didn't comprehend what to do; her little girl got a broiler glove and paper pack.
"I went crazy, similar to, what are we going to do with it?" said Tatem. "It was so funny. We have two young men, two pooches."
They tossed the gadget clinched and conveyed it out to the condo stairwell, where the mother said the gadget "popped" and burst into blazes. She called 911, and crisis groups reacted to the home on Palisades Avenue in Cliffside Park.
The mother said she and her little girl soaked the blazes with two pails of water and firefighters came and took the singed speaker away. She said nobody was harmed and there was just minor harm to her girl's sleeping cushion.

"I needed to take two pails of water to put it out," said Tatem. "It was insane."
The Cliffside Park Fire Department is exploring the make and model of the speaker and what could have made it start.
"We're investigating the gadget from the producer. We haven't found solutions once more from them yet," said Frank Poerio.
Poerio says the fire office has known about issues with other electronic gadgets, including detonating e-cigarettes and cellphones, yet has never observed a versatile speaker burst into flares.
The fire office has reached the New Jersey Division of Fire Safety, and is holding up to hear back, said Poerio.
