Sleeping with your mobile charging beside you isn’t
uncommon but for one young mother, keeping her
iPhone close at hand has had painful consequences.
A former warehouse worker, Dionne Baxter from
Purfleet in Exxes has suffered first degree burns after
her overheated charging iPhone melted on her b****t as
she slept.
According to reports, the 24-year-old mother of one was
left with serious infection from a painful inch burn and
there’s fear that she might be unable to breastfeed
again should she have another child.
UK’s DailyMail reports that she fell asleep lying across
her charging iPhone 4 but woke up in agony the next
day with a five inch burn on her b****t.
Ms Baxter was rushed to hospital where doctors
attempted to treat the wound with antibiotic cream and
painkillers.
an interview with The Sun, Ms Baxter revealed that, “I
sleep in the n**e and this large red mark was all down
one side to the n****e.
When I touched the phone, it was so hot I couldn’t pick
it up”.
Ms Baxter, whose wound is now infected, fears not only
that she may not be able to breastfeed a second child
should she have one, but she adds:
‘It’s dreadful… Imagine if my daughter had been on that
side of the bed and it had burned her face.’
Apple has reportedly declined to comment when
approached by MailOnline.
