"Seven-year-old requires surgery after Samsung Galaxy S2 EXPLODES in her pocket. "

Whilst I fully sympathise with the girl and family as the injury sounds horrific , I'm still left wondering why a 7yr old would require a smartphone and while playing in the garden.

Most likely a cheap battery off eBay 😞

Would a bulging battery scenario cause this incident ?

hi Damien1 - tell me more.  As a new S4 owner need I be concerned about the possibility of a bulging battery?

Dodgy batch of batteries early on in production run.... Should be mostly all sorted by now.

As said should be ok now but take your battery out and lay it on the table does it sit flat or rock when you push it it's supposed to sit flat sometimes you can physically see the battery has swollen as well
