I got this e-mail with pictures of a charred cell phone and bedding and the following note:

Don't charge your mobile the whole night and don't keep it near by
important. Never,ever answer a cell phone while it is being RECHARGED!!

A few days ago, a person was recharging his cell phone at home. Just at
that time a call Came in and he answered it with the instrument still
connected to the outlet. After a few seconds electricity flowed into the
cell phone unrestrained and t! he young man was thrown to the ground with
a heavy thud. His parents rushed to the room only to find him
unconscious, with a weak heartbeat and burnt fingers. He was rushed to the nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival. Cell phones are a very
useful modern invention. However, we must be aware that it can also be
an instrument! of death.

Never use the cell phone while it is hooked to the electrical outlet!
