Faulty batteries have burned down houses, furniture, personal belongings and the likes in the past, but they have never been known to claim a life, until now. It has been reported that a Motorola battery exploded killing the owner, Xiao Jinpeng, a welder. Xiao kept his mobile phone in his chest pocket, and it suddenly exploded when he was working at the plant. His colleagues suggested that it exploded because of high temperatures. The explosion broke his ribs and its fragments of the phone pierced his heart.

Motorola’s Bejing representatives are saying the company is being questioned over whether the man was using a fake Motorola phone or battery. An investigation by Motorola and Chinese authorities is going on, as if the man was using an authentic Motorola phone then the company is under threat of law suits…

I wouldn’t be surprised that in the end, the conclusion is that the phone exploded because the battery is a fake or knockoff.
Even if the batteries are not proven fake or knockoff, it would’nt be fair to make the company face law suits as it is also possible that the batteries might have exploded due to high temperatures near the factory premises.
