No one hurt Made Jun 30, 2011, published by CPSC Jul 25, 2011
The product, in the report: HTC EVO 4G, AKA HTC SUPERSONIC. Android powered smartphone. Sold by Sprint/Nextel beginning June 2010 to present. Model PC36100 / APA9292. FCC ID: NM8PC36100
Device:
HTC EVO 4G, also known as HTC SUPERSONIC. Android powered smartphone. with Lithium Ion Battery pack. Produced by HTC, sold/supported by Sprint/Nextel.
I am concerned about the safety of the lithium ion battery packs used in this device. Many consumers (myself included) are experiencing battery overheat conditions when the device is charging. In some instances, the temperature of the battery pack reaches 140 F or more. This high temperature is typically sustained until the device is removed from the charger and shut off.
As I’m sure you are aware, Li-ion batteries can be extremely hazardous when subjected to repeated stress, particularly excessive heat.
Thusfar, neither the wireless carrier nor the manufacturer of the device has acknowledged the problem.
