Russian authorities have intercepted a shipment of FPV goggles rigged with explosives, allegedly intended to detonate upon first use.

According to Russian war correspondents, saboteurs modified Skyzone Cobra FPV goggles by embedding 10–15 grams of plastic explosives near the temple area, wired to the power button. If activated, the detonation would have been fatal. Photos of the modified devices are now circulating in Russian military channels.

The explosive-laden goggles were reportedly found during an inspection of humanitarian aid packages from volunteers, with visible signs of tampering.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I hope the US military is busy looking for the possibility.  You know it's coming.

Wouldn't surprise me if this is just a bit of Kabuki theater intended to dissuade Russian troops from using NVG.

Actually, these are goggles for use by drone operators that project the image the drone is 'seeing' for the operator. The target is drone pilots, not ground troops with NVG.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
