An 18-year old woman was seriously injured after her phone, the famed Samsung Galaxy S3, exploded in her pants pocket at her place of employment. The extent of the damage both to the woman and the device are both serious, and Samsung Switzerland is currently investigating the incident.
Not much is known on what caused the device to explode, but what we do know is it was serious enough for the woman to be forced to have her pants cut completely off her in order to save her from receiving more serious damage to her thigh.
Look below at the device itself:

Samsung Switzerland released a statement saying an investigation will take place and the device will go to Korea for a thorough examination:
"Once we have been able to contact this person, we will launch a thorough investigation to shed light on the accident and, in this context, what is left of the phone will probably be sent to Korea. [Samsung submits its products to] rigorous quality controls." -Mirjam Berger, spokesperson, Samsung Switzerland
Because of the fact this site has users as young as 13-14 years old, I will not post the pictures of the woman's injuries. They are available to view at the source link below if you wish to view them.
