A 13-year-old North Texas girl was awoken in the night by a smoldering cell phone under her pillow after she put it in there before she fell asleep.
Ariel Tolfree said; “I didn’t think much of it, so I went back to sleep and then I woke up again and it was more prominent.”
Tolfree’s dad believes the phone overheated, causing the battery to swell and ignite a small fire.
Reacting, the cell phone manufacturer (a Samsung S4) says she did something they warn users about, never put your phone in a place where it might not get enough air!
This is scary, I won't ever make that mistake cos I sleep deeply and the whole house will be on fire before I wake up.
