A 22-year-old welder in northwestern China has died when his Motorola phone battery exploded as he was working in hot temperatures.
Esato News
The battery exploded while the phone was in the man's pocket as he was welding at a factory in Shuangcheng in Jinta county in Gansu province, the Lanzhou Chenbao reported, adding that the death was believed to be the first in China caused by a cell phone battery, DPA reported.
The June 19 blast broke a rib and drove it into the man's heart and he collapsed in a pool of blood, the report said. He was taken to hospital but died there.
The manufacturer of the phone was notified and dispatched experts to Jinta to conduct an investigation. source:presstv |
