On Wednesday, a University of Wyoming student was severely burned when her LG VX6000 wireless phone battery exploded, sending flames 18 inches high and setting the bed on fire, according to a university official.

The woman was in her dorm room at the time of the explosion, and the phone was being charged, according to Rich Fujita, director of college relations. Reports conflict on whether she was talking on the phone at the time.

She and her roommate were able to put out the flames, but she did suffer second degree burns on her abdomen and shoulder, and second and third degree burns on her forearm, Fujita said. She was taken to Wyoming Medical Center, then transferred to the burn unit at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, according to the Casper Star-Tribune.

Video of the phone shows that it is an LG VX6000 obtained from Verizon Wireless. The LG VX6000 is one of the company’s top selling phones.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, exploding cell phone batteries are relatively rare. The agency has issued recalls for lithium-ion batteries for cell phones and notebook computers in the past due to fire and explosion risks.
