Seeing gadgets explode or catch on fire isn’t something new to us, and neither is seeing those flaming gadgets hurting their users. However, to hear of a Motorola Droid 2 exploding right in a man’s ear and seeing the bandages around his head leave us wondering: how on Earth could that have happened?
There’s no telling, actually. Some tear downs would show nothing in Motorola Droid 2 that would or could explode in or near the earpiece. However, that’s allegedly what happened according to 30-year-old Aron Embry as he was using his Verizon smartphone.
The mini explosion left his ear bleeding and he needed stitches, but the doctors say there is no real damage to his hearing.
Hopefully he heals up quickly and that Motorola gets to the bottom of this so that – if the phone really just blew up out of nowhere – this won’t happen to anyone else.
