A very amaizing news i have heard? A 23 year old boy was killed by a mobile?

Hi Nina - there was a mylotter who mentioned it a few months ago - I think it was taztheone if I remember right. He said the cell phone broke into flames in the middle of the night on the bed. While so, I still think keeping it near by is better than keeping it another room because by the time flames catch up in the other room, it might be too late. At least if it happens nearby - you can get some smell and might be lucky enough to prevent it in time.

Yes, it is absolutely possible that people are killed by a mobile phone. When using a mobile phone to communicate with others, you must have out you into a dangerous situation. You see, if you don't have a quality battery in your phone, then this battery may lead to some serious problems, such as explosion. Usually, if this battery is very close to people's head, then he/she may be killed indeed. Yes, for the fake batteries in the market, many deaths occurs due to such explosion in China, which is a common situation in my country.

Must be a bad battery.It's a rare incident, it's incredible that he was killed, I guess he kept that mobile near his head when that happened and maybe he was charging his mobile.Some people don't follow the instructions, they overcharge the battery,or even leave the charger in the socket and fall asleep.Sometimes it's the fault of manufacturer.

There was once a report here about a new charger, if I can still remember, which exploded when in use by the owner soon after purchase. That was just an isolated incident. But it rekindled the continuous demand for the highest safety standards in production. This should raise another alarm.

i heard about it before that some people die bcs of that :( so sad he was just 23 years so sad :( we must be careful with cellphone and dont use it much in a row. anyway my sis said we cant use it while the battery is charging. anyway so sad that that happened :( cellphones are good but can be bad too if people dont be careful :( about me i almost dont use mine and thank god.

yes..there were faked batteries that looks like the same with the original..be careful because those batteries explode.

I think I have read it somewhere that a person was injured when he was charging his mobile phone. The phone just exploded while it was charging. Luckily that person was a distant away from his mobile otherwise it could have also killed him.

I did hear something about a mobile battery exploding, but I don't remember the details any more.

Hi Nina! There's always been rumors floating around the web about the risks of cell phones. While there is some risk (isn't there risk with almost everything?), it's relatively small in comparison with how many people use it. Here's an information-only article I found about it: http://www.snopes.com/horrors/techno/cellcharge.asp There's another rumor going around about using cell phones at gasoline stations. That's not true either. http://www.snopes.com/autos/hazards/gasvapor.asp Take care!

I've heard many news like this but haven't seen or known someone in real life with such incident ever happen to them. I think it is very possible for mobile battery to explode. We need to be careful with the uses of our mobiles then. Have a good weekends

Nina Similar accident happened in my place around a year ago, it was due to defective Nokia battery, next Nokia administration announed in papers serial number of battery, that were supposed to be faulty, they asked to sms your battery number, if you want to know if it was defective, they replaced them to save their goodwill.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

i have already heard this.......this happened in jaipur,india.....i think u have heard the same news......this was shocking for me too....hope this wont continue in future.... the reason behind it is battery according to me..... may be battery got overcharged or he was talking on cell while charging... happy mylotting

I don't believe this news. I already read many spam mails and chain mails about that incident. Unless you put a C4 in the mobile phone it is not possible to create an explosion strong enough to kill someone. Many research have already been done to disprove this.
