I did read in Fortean Times a while back
About batches of phones turning up on markets in China that had been somewhat cobbled together. Meaning right makers batteries installed, but usually the wrong model & often defective as well. These had a habit of while not exactly exploding more slowly combusting in peoples pockets and bags.

There was a story on watchdog last year about similar
apparently some Nokia chargers were exploding and setting people's homes on fire.
Really it was just "Electrical Item Left Plugged In For Too Long Caught Fire"... which isn't nearly as exciting
