According to police in eastern India, a pregnant woman recently suffered burns after the battery of her Nokia mobile phone exploded within minutes after attaching the handset to charge. The explosion triggered a ball of fire according to the pregnant 30-year-old Kishori. The injuries to the pregnant woman were not serious and she was discharged from the hospital after receiving first aid. |  |
The battery that exploded was from the firm's BL-D3 series, and not from BL-5C that Nokia recalled a month ago. The product advisory issued by Nokia in August for the BL-5C applied to 46 million batteries manufactured by Matsushita between December 2005 and November 2006. The Bl-5C batteries were manufactured by Japan's Matsushita Battery Industrial Co., Ltd.
