Outline
Social media message claims that a boy died in Mumbai because he took a call while his mobile phone was charging. The message also claims that people should not make or answer calls when a mobile phone’s battery is low because the radiation is 1000 times stronger.
Brief Analysis
The message is most likely derived from an Indian news report describing an incident in which a boy was seriously injured when his Chinese made mobile phone exploded in his hand while it was being charged. However, the boy was not killed as claimed in the message. There have been several reported incidents of injuries or deaths attributed to using mobile phones while they were being charged. But, in virtually every case, faulty or counterfeit phones or charges were being used. And the claim that radiation from a mobile phone is one thousand times stronger when the battery is low is misleading and inaccurate.
Examples
PLS. SHARE THIS TO ALL RELATIVES & FRIENDS!!!
Today another boy died in Mumbai, because of attending a call while his mobile was still charging. That time he had a sudden vibration to his heart and then his hands got burned.
So please don’t answer calls or call out while charging your cell phone. When the phone’s battery is low to the last bar don’t make a call or answer any incoming calls because the radiation is 1000 times stronger. This can happen to any brand of mobile phones out there.
