~CELL PHONE DANGER~

My sister recently sent me some shocking information that really opened my eyes to the possible danger of using a cell phone while it is plugged in (charging). There have allegedly been injuries and even deaths from electrical surges that can cause fires and electrocution. Along with this information was attached some disturbing pictures of a young mans hand and bed, where he was using his phone while plugged in, after he was electrocuted by a surge. Upon further investigation there is nothing conclusive as to whether this has/can actually occur. However, according to snopes there have been several incidences of injuries and fires due to faulty cell phone batteries. In most cases because the battery was not the correct one for the phone. This information certainly shocked me and I would have never thought this could possibly occur. Pass It Along!!
