　　三星手机充电燃烧
　　Yahoo.com: Charging our devices as we sleep feels like a harmless routine. For one young Samsung smartphone owner, however, that habit almost turned heated.
　　Last week, a 13-year-old North Texas girl plugged her Samsung Galaxy 1 S4 in for its nightly juice-up before hitting the sack, only to be awoken by the smell of something burning hours later.
　　When she got up and searched around for the source of the stench, she realized that she had wedged her charging phone under her pillow.
　　And not only was the backside of the pillow scorched 2, but the phone was fried into an unrecognizable slab 3 of plastic and melted components 4. The event left the family a bit surprised.
　　The girl's father said they have a reasonable expectation that the products they buy are going to be safe. He told local media that he suspects the phone overheated, causing the battery to swell 5 and start a fire.
