There’s been yet another case of a mobile phone exploding while being put to charge. Thankfully though, nobody got hurt this time.
The latest case involved the daughter of a journalist, mStar Online reports.
According to entertainment journalist Tengku Khalidah Tengku Bidin, her daughter Dina had left her phone to charge in a room at their home in Setiawangsa around 9.30pm on Saturday when the incident happened.
“I was in the kitchen, and was shocked when my child was shouting fire, fire.There was fire and smoke from the handphone. Luckily no one was holding it the time. I always remind my child not to use the handphone when it is being charged,” she said.
It took just 30 minutes for the phone to explode after it was charged, she said, adding that she then switched off the mains in her house.
”I hope people would be more careful while charging their phones so that the same incident doesn’t occur. Take it as a lesson so that we can avoid such an accident,” mStar Online quoted her as saying.
Last month, the wife of a policeman was electrocuted to death when she answered a call on her mobile phone which had been charging.
