Jul 3, 2007, 10:11 GMT
Beijing - A 22-year-old welder in north-western China died when his cell phone
battery exploded as he was working in hot temperatures, a newspaper reported
Tuesday.
The battery exploded while the phone was in the man's pocket as he was welding
at a factory in Shuangcheng in Jinta county in Gansu province, the Lanzhou
Chenbao reported, adding that the death was believed to be the first in China
caused by a cell phone battery.
The June 19 blast broke a rib and drove it into the man's heart and he collapsed
in a pool of blood, the report said. He was taken to hospital but died there.
The manufacturer of the phone was notified and dispatched experts to Jinta to
conduct an investigation.
