A schoolboy was left with horrific injuries after a mobile phone that was on charge exploded, ripping a massive hole in the side of his face. It is important to know what to do to take legal action in such cases.

Police said 12-year-old Chung Fang had woken up at 4am and decided to play with his mobile phone after struggling to sleep.

When he realised the battery was almost dead, he put the device on charge and continued to use it.

The phone then exploded in the boy’s face, leaving him with a crater in his cheek and his jawbone exposed.

He also suffered cuts and burns to his hands, arms and legs.

Speaking from his hospital bed Fang said: “I realised it was getting warm but didn’t think anything of it, and when I had it to my ear it suddenly exploded.

“Afterwards I realised I was bleeding heavily and felt this huge wound in my face so called the ambulance.”

The youngster was alone at the time at his home in Pingdingshan, China.

Both of his parents were at work, and rushed to their son’s bedside after being contacted by the hospital.

Dad Kao, 43, said: “He looked a terrible mess.

“There was a huge hole in his cheek and you could see his jawbone. He had burns and cuts on his hands and arms and his legs as well.

“The wound on his face alone was 4cm long.

“Doctors also think he might have cerebral haemorrhage and he is going to be in hospital for quite a while as he needs surgery to repair his face.”
