sfgate.com — A cell phone apparently ignited in a man's pocket and started a fire that burned his hotel room and caused severe burns over half his body, fire department officials said. Luis Picaso, 59, of Vallejo was in stable condition Monday at UC Davis Medical Center with second and third-degree burns to his upper body, back, right arm and right leg.

The burns wouldn't have been as bad if he hadn't then used the phone to call 911.

When they say "This message will self destruct." For the love of god, throw it out the window. Seriously though it was unfortunate that it happened, hopefully the manufacturers can correct the problem.
