Amarjit Mann, 34, has second degree burns on his hands, third degree burns on his wrists and he's spent all of Sunday at the hospital.
His injuries are all because his Samsung Galaxy S-7 smartphone exploded in his hand.
"This is a nightmare for me, I have never seen anything like this," Mann said.
Mann explained he was driving his car on Arlington Street at about 10:30 am on Sunday when the phone exploded in his pocket.
He said he felt it getting warm, so he pulled over, took the phone out, and he said that’s when it blew up.
"Luckily I was holding it, imagine if it was against my face, I should have lost my eye or cheek, anything could have happened," he said. "I threw it outside, it should have damaged my whole car, I just saw smoke and nothing else."
In October, Samsung issued a voluntary recall of its Galaxy Note-7 phone after dozens of phones caught fire across the United States.
The company warned on its the "affected devices can overheat and pose a safety risk".
One of the phones Samsung offers to customers looking for an exchange is the S-7 – the model Amarjit Mann bought just six months ago.
"We are unable to comment on any alleged incident without having an opportunity to obtain and analyze the product,” A Samsung Canada spokesperson said in a statement sent to CTV news.
“Customer safety remains our highest priority and we remain committed to working with any customer who has experienced an issue with a Samsung product."
Amarjit Mann is a mechanic, but doctors have told him he can't work for at least four weeks.
He said wants to know why this happened and he will be sending Samsung what's left of his phone.
