14 DAY TRIAL // Things don't look so good for Nokia, as they are currently facing serious problems with their batteries. The company is in the middle of a crisis and new reports do it no favor. A 24 year-old woman has been seriously injured after a Nokia mobile battery exploded during charging.
Producers handled this problem by throwing the blame on users who change the original batteries with fake ones. This escape door is closed for Nokia, as the company has acknowledged that a stunning number of 46 million BL-5C series batteries were potentially dangerous as more than 100 such products have experienced excessive heating during the charging process.
This time, the young woman in Kolkata that has been injured by an exploding such product was using a Nokia 2100 handset with BL 3D series battery. She had bought the mobile phone two and a half years before, but mentioned nothing about ever replacing the phone's original components.
After only ten minutes of charging, the mobile phone suddenly exploded, injuring the young woman. She was immediately taken to the hospital for emergency caring. As a result of this accident, she received splinter injuries on her face and other body parts.
The most impressive thing about this event is that it happened in less than a day after a similar such handset had blasted in Gujarat. The circumstances were highly similar, as this also occurred while the device was charging. A serious problem takes shape, as these situations are fortunate ones, where no one was hurt. It wouldn't be the first time when a person is killed as a result of an exploding battery phone, which asks for handset producers to take drastic measures for preventing this.
Nokia is especially regarded in this matter, as it is currently going through a crisis caused by the faulty BL-5C batteries. If such reports of people getting injured by their products continue to appear, the company will suffer from a major image fall and lose the confidence of many of its customers.
