All investigated mobile phone battery explosions caused by non-original
batteries
Recently, in the Netherlands a battery used in a Nokia 7210 mobile phone
exploded. An investigation by Nokia experts clearly proved that the battery
involved in the incident was not a Nokia battery. Over the past months,
cases have been reported of non-original mobile phone batteries exploding,
causing damage to both batteries and phones. In all the reported cases, the
battery has been a non-original battery. Nokia offers its cooperation to
authorities in taking legal measures available against those who sell and
distribute poor quality non-original mobile phone enhancements compatible to
Nokia products.
