As convenient as it is, modern technology comes with a lot of hazards and can cause great damage to life and property if not used properly. A recent incident from Kerala reminded us of how fatal tech equipment can be when a young girl lost her life after a mobile phone exploded in her hands.

There have been many instances of mobile phones exploding in the hands or pockets of people. Mobile phones these days are really fragile and can explode on little heating up. Explosions during charging have caused severe damage to people in the past and that's why people don't recommend using mobile phones in the kitchen or while charging or anywhere near fire.

Heating up of mobiles is a really dangerous issue and a recent case from Kerala comes as a reminder for all the parents who allow children to use phones without their supervision.

Mobile Phone Explodes In Girl's Face In Kerala

In Kerala, an 8-year-old girl was severely injured when her mobile phone exploded in her face. The incident took place in Thiruvilvamala when Adithyasree, a student of class 3, was at her home playing on a mobile phone.

The police told Press Trust of India (PTI) that the phone exploded in the little girl's face at around 10:30 pm on April 24.

The parents took her to the hospital but the doctors could not save the child's life. The initial probe suggested that the explosion might have occurred due to overheating.

As per a report, the second-hand phone was bought three years prior to the tragic incident and the battery had been replaced three months prior.

According to the senior police officer, an accidental death case was registered and minor explosions of mobile phone batteries had been reported previously.

Mobile phone or battery overheating can be really dangerous and is one of the common reasons for deaths caused by phone explosions. When it comes to children, parents should be really careful about how much their child is using the mobile phone

Apart from limiting screen time, parents should also see if the mobile is overheating or being overused as it may cause a mishap just like in Adithyasree's case.
