It’s not a good day in the Droid world right now. A man from Cedar Hill, Texas was injured when his phone, a Droid 2, exploded on him while he was talking on it. Aron Embry, the man that had his phone explode, said that he was just talking on it when he heard a "pop". When he took his phone down away from his ear, he said he felt something trickle down the side of his neck, which ended up being blood. He was bleeding so much that he had to be rushed to the emergency room to be treated. He had to get four stitches in his ear, but he didn’t suffer any hearing loss.
From the look of the phone, it looks like the glass on the front of the Droid 2 had a meltdown and fried the guy’s ear. The sad thing is.... he only had it for two days. Motorola issued a statement Thursday evening stating...
"Motorola's priority is, and always has been the safety of our customers, and all Motorola products are designed, manufactured and tested to meet or exceed international and local standards for consumer safety. We will reach out to the consumer and investigate this thoroughly."
While exploding phones are rare, most cases of exploding phones often happen when they are being charged. Keeping phones away from water and other liquids and to keep the battery away from metal objects while the phone is not in use. Sad day when the Droid name gets put in the news for something
like this.
