Exploding Cell Phones

by Teresa Valdez Klein on January 16, 2007

Remember a few months ago when airlines cracked down on laptop computers after Dell’s exploding laptop fiasco? Well, don’t be surprised if it happens with cell phones after the exploding-cell-phone-gives-California-man-second-and-third-degree-burns fiasco.

Since your phone will be turned off anyway, you might want to think about removing and stowing the battery during transit.

The report of the ‘exploding cell phone’ is based on wrong information. The corrected story can be found on CNET’s web site at http://news.com.com/Cell+phone+didnt+ignite+California+man/2100-1041_3-6151175.html

The exploding cell phone story has appeared in the SNOPES.com website as well.
Please be careful with silly information…
