Mobile phone explosion caused two deaths and two injuries. How to improve awareness of safe use of mobile phones and prevent mobile phone explosions

In today's life, mobile phones have occupied most of our time. Whether we are eating, going to the toilet, or even before going to bed, we like to read the news or watch Douyin. A friend once joked to me: You can live without money and a wife, but you can't live without a mobile phone. This shows how important mobile phones are in the hearts of people in today's society.

I saw a piece of news recently, but it made me, who is always holding my phone, very scared... Like many young people nowadays, a young couple in Changde, Hunan, used to put their mobile phones on the bed to charge before going to bed at night. They thought that charging during sleep would save them the trouble of carrying a power bank the next day. But an accident happened. In the early morning, the mobile phone suddenly exploded! The fire ignited the sheets and bedding. The sleeping family had no time to react and were ruthlessly engulfed by the fire in just a few minutes!

That night, the family of four was rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately, the 3-year-old son and the 1-year-old daughter died of organ failure due to severe injuries! Although the mother was not in danger of life, her head and upper limbs were severely burned; the father's hands were burned. The two children who were originally lively and healthy were separated overnight, which was really devastating. It is hard to imagine how the couple will get out of the shadow of the accident.

In recent years, news of cell phone explosions has become common. What is particularly disturbing is that the degree of damage caused by the explosion is extremely high, and even threatens the personal safety of users. Cell phones can explode, but we cannot live without them, so the question is, why do cell phones explode? Is there any way to avoid such risks?

There are four main reasons why batteries explode.

The first is the battery itself. If there are internal defects in the battery, the battery will explode even when it is not charged or discharged. This requires us to buy mobile phones through regular channels.

The second is due to long-term charging of the battery core. Under special temperature, humidity and poor contact conditions, lithium batteries may discharge instantly to generate a large amount of current and cause natural explosion.

The third reason is short circuit. If we charge the phone while talking on the phone, it is easy to pull the charging cable unconsciously, causing a short circuit and explosion. In addition, placing the phone near high temperature or flammable objects may also cause an explosion.

The fourth is not to mix chargers and charging cables. Many people don't pay attention to power cables, thinking that as long as they can charge, they use cables and universal chargers bought at low prices on street stalls or the Internet. Little do they know that most of these cables and universal chargers are not produced by regular manufacturers, and the quality is not guaranteed at all. If you buy a slightly better one, you are lucky, but if you buy a bad one, it will be fatal.

How to prevent cell phone explosions

1. Purchase mobile phones through regular channels. Do not buy products without any certification through improper channels just to save a little money.

2. Never leave your phone next to your bed to charge for a long time.

3. Do not charge your phone while talking on the phone, and do not place your phone near high temperatures or flammable items.

4. Do not mix chargers and charging cables.

Attention! If your phone has the following characteristics, it may be a precursor to explosion!

Phone is too hot

Charging for a long time, making calls or playing with the phone while charging will cause the phone to overheat. Generally speaking, this is a normal phenomenon. Just let the phone rest for a while to cool down. However, if the phone becomes abnormal and suddenly becomes hot during normal use, you should stop using it immediately.

Phone cannot be charged

Generally speaking, the reason why a mobile phone explodes is because of the battery. Now, most of them are built-in batteries. Once the mobile phone cannot be charged, it is either the charger or the battery that has a problem. After excluding the charger as the problem, it is basically the battery that is broken and must be sent for repair.

Frequent automatic restarts

I believe many people have had this experience: the phone automatically shuts down and restarts even though you haven't touched it. Be extra vigilant in this situation. Frequent restarts will keep the phone running at high speed for a long time. Don't let the phone run on its own. When it gets hot enough, it may explode!

The battery is visibly aged

There are signs when the battery is severely damaged, such as bulging on the surface, liquid leaking out, etc. In addition, special attention should be paid if the charging cable suddenly becomes soft.

Raise awareness of safe mobile phone use

• Keep your phone as far away from your body as possible

When people use their mobile phones, they transmit radio waves to the base station. These waves are mobile phone radiation. Although there is no research to show whether mobile phone radiation has an impact on human health, it is still better to pay more attention to it.

• Don't put your phone next to your pillow when you sleep

According to experts, mobile phone radiation is very harmful to the human head and can easily cause headaches, dizziness, insomnia, hair loss and other symptoms. I believe many users have had this personal experience: putting the phone next to the pillow when sleeping often leads to symptoms of dreaming, which seriously affects the quality of sleep.

• Do not leave the charging plug unplugged for a long time

Many users have the habit of leaving the charging plug inserted in the socket. Once the charger is of poor quality or is a low-quality product, it is likely to cause a short circuit, leading to fire and other serious consequences.
