omg wow... but in reality, how many high explosive items do you have, sitting right there in your comfy computer chair? look around... this was an unfortunate incident, I think that Samsung and/or verizon *tho I agree with the thought that it's Samsung's responsibility* should take care of his medical bills, but I don't think they are truly responsible... if you are driving off-road and something causes your gas line to leak, and it leaks on your exhaust header, a fire ensues... is that the manufacturers fault for not foreseeing that rare event? are they really to be held responsible? some say yes, others no... bottomline, manufactures make their products, be it cell phones, cars, microwaves, etc, as safe as they can without going overboard safety-wise. it's not their responsibility to make their products 100% safe, this is an unrealistic expectation
