Kyocera halts phone shipments on blowup report

Kyocera Wireless has stopped shipping one of its Phantom models of cell phones after a US family reported the phone blew up, a company representative said Thursday, [ZDNet].

As Mick Masnick pointed out in Techdirt, Kyocera's attitude is alot more responsible than Nokia's "it ain't us!", finger pointing at fake batteries as the cause of Nokia phone explosion incidents. And good point, how about a statement saying: "We're sorry anyone was hurt and will do everything we can to get to the bottom of this".
