Cell Phone Battery Ignites in Man’s Pocket

Batteries would seem to be a safe and established technology. Perhaps if it was a now fuel-cell battery, we could understand some flaws in the technology. It would be no less acceptable…but more understandable.

A cell phone apparently ignited in a man’s pocket, causing second and third degree burns. There is currently no information on the manufacturer of the phone of the battery. We hope we use neither of them.
