Exploding Cell Phones a Growing Problem
Michael Sathre, 13, holds the remains of his cell phone at his home in Oceanside, Calif. Friday, Nov. 12, 2004. The phone's battery exploded in August of 2004. Curtis Sathre said it was like a bomb going off. His 13-year-old son Michael stood stunned, his ears ringing, hand gushing blood and body covered in black ash. Fragments from Michael's exploding cell phone had hit him between the eyes and lodged in the ceiling of the family's home. Over the last two years, federal safety officials have received 83 reports of cell phones exploding or catching fire, usually because of incompatible, faulty or counterfeit batteries or chargers.
