According to local media such as G1, flames suddenly soared in the back pocket of a woman shopping with her husband at a mart in Annapolis, Goias, Brazil on the afternoon of the 8th (local time). The cell phone in the back pocket of the jeans had ignited.
Surprised by the CCTV footage of the mart, she started screaming and running around, and her husband struggled to put out the fire.
Eventually, the woman struggled to pull down her pants, and the husband took off his T-shirt and managed to put out the light.
The fire left her with second-degree burns to her hips and back, as well as her hands and arms. I had to cut my burnt hair as well.
The husband is also being treated for burns on his hands and arms.
The woman told local media "Suddenly, I felt a fever in my back pocket, so the moment I tried to take out my phone, the fire broke out."
He then emphasized that "the manufacturer will have to clarify why the fire broke out" and "what can happen to anyone"."
The woman is known to have purchased the mobile phone about a year ago, and previously had no abnormal symptoms such as fever.
The manufacturer said "We put consumer safety first and go through rigorous tests" and "We are investigating the cause of this accident"
