Leobarda Villalobos recently purchased a Motorola phone for her son, Yovani. At some point, the phone exploded in Yovani's pants.

He was treated at the Grossman Burn Center.

The family is trying to determine what could have gone wrong since the cell phone has not been recalled, according to the report.

Motorola officials are not commenting.

I can see him having a cell phone. When I was a kid, my mom always made sure I left home with at least a dime to phone if I had to. With a cell phone, he's got it with him - plus, his parents can reach him if necessary. If I had kids, they'd have a cell phone - nothing fancy, but in case of emergencies.

It was only first degree burns. A sunburn for all intensive purposes. No biggie if that's all it was.
