2 days ago an accident in South Korea has reported that an exploding Cell Phone battery may have killed a South Korean man. After the police investigation, it turns out his colleague is actually the murder. LG has stepped out to make a public announcement, reassure its phone battery safety.

The victim's colleague, who was also the first witness, has been charged with manslaughter. The suspect confessed to the police that he had unintentionally hit the victim with a 15-ton hydraulic drill rig while driving in reverse, and that this was the cause of death. The initial false statement by the suspect was an attempt to cover up his actions, and led to the unfair assumption by the media and the general public that an LG product was somehow the cause of this tragedy.

LG reaffirmed that the lithium-ion polymer batteries used in LG handsets had been approved for consumer use by a number of independent testing agencies.
