When cell phones attack..."Verizon Kyocera" burns right buttock of teen!
Yikes, second degree burns from a cell phone. Dear hardware folks—we're all for extending the battery life of our phones, but when these things start lighting our asses on fire, might want to rethink things a bit.
Witness then saw her pocket explode with smoke and fire…..A 16-year-old California girl suffered second degree burns Thursday when her cell phone caught fire in her back pocket, according to the Ontario Fire Department. The victim was transported to Chino Valley Medical Center where she was treated and released with small second-degree burns to her right buttock. The phone is a Verizon Kyocera, but because of damage investigators could not tell the model number.
We're kinda wondering if it was one of those aftermarket batteries or something else, get ready for some "pyrocera" jokes soon.
