That is exactly what happened to poor Cai.
"Right after I powered on the cell phone and pressed the button it exploded. My nipple got burned so badly from the explosion".
20 year-old Cai paid $50 for a second hand cell phone and followed the instruction that the battery needs to be fully charged before use.
Next morning he got out the bed, couldn't wait to try out his new toy, right after he powered on and he began to press a few buttons, it exploded.
Cai wasn't wearing any clothing at the time, his left chest got badly burned including his nipple. The cell phone was some 'Made in China' local brand with cheap quality and the battery wasn't even safety certified.
An office girl also bought a similar new cell phone and it exploded as well, her nose was hurt so badly she ended up having to be hospitalized and might need a plastic surgery later.
China is famous for cheap products which are often are fake, imitation and even dangerous.
These types of underground factories are everywhere and the government is not regulating it enough."

This is a really big danger for many people and the government should be ashamed for not regulating this hazard.

I've always been wary of putting my mobile phone in my front shirt pocket or anywhere near my chest to carry it around just out of fear of the radiation somehow damaging my body, another reason to keep yourself safe from unproven risky technology!

Looks like someone is getting an infection there.

:O
this is scary
poor guy -
About 7 months ago I was in Thailand when the big news of the day was that a guy's phone battery exploded, horribly burning him.
Turned out he was just saving face after he had badly burned himself.
To phone batteries actually explode? I doubt it. None of the articles here or otherwise prove this as scientific fact. Just consumers scared.
