A charging iPhone 4 exploded and caught fire in an Ohio house while a couple and their 5 kids slept
Old tech dies hard, at least for one family in Ohio where a charging iPhone 4 exploded and caught fire while they were asleep.
"It is really scary watching that video from our kitchen because a lot of our kids sleep with this same phone charging in their bed at night or on a nightstand next to their bed," Leisgang said.Even though the family — as well as the house — were safe, the fire could've been a disaster, Leisgang said.
"There was never a mention from Apple when we purchased the product that it would be a fire hazard after so many years of use," Leisgang said."And to be honest, letting our kids use the phone and charge it never crossed my mind as a potential hazard."

"What I don't think Apple realizes is that hundreds of thousands of families don't trade in their old iPhones and iPads, and keep them for their kids to use at home," he said.
