From Samsung cellphone bursts into flames in Israeli man’s pocket
A 20-year-old man was lightly injured when a Samsung cellphone in his pocket suddenly burst into flames.
The man told his doctors he felt a sudden surge of heat from his pocket and heard small explosive pops, when his pants were set on fire.
With the help of a friend, he managed to pull out the cellphone and pull off his pants, leaving second-degree burns in a small area on his leg where the pocket had rested.
He is being treated at the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya.
