Days after the shocking incident that has happened to a 23-year-old flight attendant with China Southern Airlines being electrocuted after taking a call on her then-charging Apple device, an incident involving a man, who was using a third-party charger to energize his iPhone 4 was intensely shocked and was admitted immediately to a hospital's ICU, comes next.

These horrible incidents have driven Apple to post a guide to the Chinese version of its website, telling users to use only official chargers for their iOS gadgets. The company, however, assured that all of its products are strictly "subjected to stringent safety and reliability assessments and designed to meet government safety standards globally."
Another incident took place in Hong Kong involving a couple who has been relocated after a Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone blasted and blazed their house.
Mr. Du, as identified in the Xianguo.com report, avows that his phone and its paraphernalia were all authentic Samsung products. However, it is now difficult to determine because everything was burnt.
As translated in the report, Mr. Du claimed that he was sitting on the sofa playing "Love Machine" while his phone was juicing up when it, all of a sudden, blasted. He tossed his phone onto the couch in panic, resulting into fire. The fire then reaches the curtains and eventually the whole house.
Whether or not the true wrongdoer is the smartphone, an investigation primarily concluded of "no suspicious circumstances."
Samsung stated that it will "carry out thorough investigations and assessments to find out the real cause of the incident."
This is the second fire incident concerning Samsung. Last year, a Galaxy S3 blasted and blazed while his owner was driving in his car.
