OnePlus One explodes in owner's pocket

They say that all publicity is good publicity, but OnePlus may well be testing that adage to its limits. In June, it made the mistake of redesigning a mandatory regulatory mark on its products in Europe, resulting in delayed shipments to its customers there. Then, this month, the company launched an ill-advised photo contest, encouraging women to share pictures of themselves to be publicly judged on its forums, to try to win an 'invite' to buy one of its phones. Now, the company is once again generating headlines for all the wrong reasons, after a OnePlus One handset exploded in an owner's pocket.
