    The product, in the report: Olympia Battery 3.85V 3220mAh 12.4Wh White Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Battery

    The Olympia 3220mAh Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Battery exploded in my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 smartphone tonight. The battery was blown clear of the phone and caught fire. The phone was damaged beyond repair/use, partially melted and burned. The phone wasn’t charging at the time. I was able to get the burning battery out of my residence, so other than thick smoke no damage occurred in the home. I did get a small burn on my right hand thumb while trying to get the burning battery out of the residence and away from flammable property, people, or animals.
