> Check your drawers for any Samsung (or different brand) phones that aren’t in use, as they are a potential fire hazard! <

In my neck of the woods, “drawers” refers to underwear. So just to be safe, I will check my furniture AND my underwear.

I thought this was a problem years ago and now it was all fixed.

So it’s not Samsung phones, just one Samsung phone.

... Samsung phones are far more likely to cause swollen/expanding battery issues than other brands of phones...

Gal asks as she looks at the guy's pants "Are you happy to see me?"

Guy responds "Look out, my Samsung phone is about to blow!"

What a mess for Samsung!

Have two of them for the last four years no problem sounds like a fish story from Apple.

I’ve own iphones for personal use and have a company issued one now. I’ve used Androids for personal use since 2015 that included an S9+, note 10+, note 20 and S22 ultra. All have been flawless.

“...the Note 7 battery crisis.” Bad news, since the Note 7 is a sweet phone. My 2015 iPhone still good enough for me.

Energy resents being stored. There's pressure among electronics manufacturers to produce electronic storage batteries with ever increasing capacity. Get too close to the bleeding edge and this is what happens.

Imagine a luckless guy.

Buys an EV car and is driving it home when his phone starts to expand and feel red hot. He panics and turns to pull over

Question, what happens to lithium batteries when exposed to EMF, solar or man made?

[cableguymn]

Just a random thought..

what happens when a EV battery swells up?

[minnesota_bound]

The reason cell phones are sealed is to cause people to buy a new phone for several hundred dollars instead of replacing a $10 battery.

Plus the gov’t and google and apple and apps can track you even though you think the phone is off.

Rest easy your electric will not have this issue.... WHOOSH!!
Home gone.
