Xiaomi TV Apologizes: False Earthquake Alert Sent by R&D Personnel in Error

Xiaomi TV Issues Urgent Apology: Earthquake Alert Was Sent by Mistake During Internal Testing

On June 23, Xiaomi TV issued an urgent clarification and apology:

At 20:15 on June 23, 2026, the earthquake warning messages received by some Xiaomi TV users in Beijing and surrounding areas were caused by an operational error during internal functional testing by our R&D personnel, who mistakenly pushed internal simulated test data to the online production environment. This content was purely fictional test data and not an official real earthquake warning; there is no earthquake risk in the current region. We immediately intercepted the erroneous information, will fully rectify the information release process and testing environment mechanisms, and formally apologize for the panic caused to users.
