PR people, take note- things dont explode any more, they experience rapid disassembly:

"It has come to Kyocera Wireless Corp's attention that an allotment of batteries to be used with the Kyocera 7135 smartphone might contain a risk hazard... Of the 50,731 units shipped in the United States, Kyocera has received four (4) confirmed reports of rapid disassembly. Of these four (4) reports one involved personal injury in the form of a second-degree burn and two (2) reported incidents resulted in minor property damage."

Reminds me of the Korean Air 747 that crashed into the hillside in Guam a few years back 'controlled descent into terrain'.
