Yep. So many peop,e walk around with them in pockets. Cant imagine one in a shirt pocket going off right under the face.

Newer batteries are better though at not getting to point of exploding, but they still can. When they get wet, and or batteries are old, that is when they pose greatest danger. I think that one of guy in store got his phone wet if i remember right. It was a wild video

“When they get wet”

Every time we have a hurricane in my state EVs that incure salt intrusion at the battery catch fire like clockw.

The media does their level best to blackout that it’s happening by reporting on 100 other things related to hurricanes but the news still leaks evrntu.

Yeah, if you ever see a battery “pillowing”, or the casing of the device holding a battery expanding, STOP USING THAT DEVICE! The battery is having issues that might lead to a fire.
