Several weeks ago there was an alarming claim from a Galaxy S3 owner that the phone spontaneously exploded. The report quickly spread over the Internet causing some fear of using or buying the Galaxy S3, which greatly concerned Samsung, so the company naturally investigated. The investigation yielded a slightly different cause for the explosion and fire.
Galaxy SIII owners can now rest assured that, unless they nuke their phones, they aren't likely to witness any traumatic explosions from their devices.
