I wonder if they were using a 3rd party battery with it.

Good question.
There was a recall on the Pelican Brick last year. I wonder if the problem exists in other manufacturers' models.

Yikes. That could have so easily been me back when I was 10 or so, since I used to carry my Game Boy Pocket around in my pocket all the time back then. I hope it doesn't end up burning him again.
