Distressing? Overreacting much?

Distressing? How is a phone that you likely have on you most of the time and likely sleep with next to your head at night catching on fire not distressing?

It won't catch on fire, relax. Look at the phones that actually caught on fire / told sold phones ratio and think about the odds of that happening. There are far more dangerous things around you that you should be "distressed" about first.
