Nokia said Tuesday that it's investigating two recent reports of its cell phones "exploding" and causing injuries.
Last Thursday, a supermarket employee in the Netherlands burned his legs when a Nokia handheld exploded in his pants pocket, according to Juliette Oolders of the Dutch consumer group Consumentenbond. Oolders said she believes the phone was one of Nokia's newer models, but could not be more specific. In August, a 33-year-old Dutch woman was injured when her Nokia phone exploded in her hands.
A Nokia representative said the company is investigating both incidents but would not comment further.
