雅虎新聞的一篇報道說,美國13歲女孩把正在充電的手機放在了枕頭下面,熟睡中聞到了燒焦的味道.

Yahoo.com: Charging our devices as we sleep feels like a harmless routine. For one young Samsung smartphone owner, however, that habit almost turned heated.

Last week, a 13-year-old North Texas girl plugged her Samsung Galaxy S4 in for its nightly juice-up before hitting the sack, only to be awoken by the smell of something burning hours later.

When she got up and searched around for the source of the stench, she realized that she had wedged her charging phone under her pillow.

And not only was the backside of the pillow scorched, but the phone was fried into an unrecognizable slab of plastic and melted components. The event left the family a bit surprised.

The girl's father said they have a reasonable expectation that the products they buy are going to be safe. He told local media that he suspects the phone overheated, causing the battery to swell and start a fire.
