Kian’s family are now demanding BlackBerry’s popular Curve 9320 mobile phone be recalled from shops.
Ms McCreath said she had placed the phone on Kian's bed after finding it on the landing charging last Sunday.
'It was about 2.30am and I couldn’t sleep so I came downstairs,' she said. 'As I left my room and noticed Mason’s phone on charge on the landing. 'I know the phone has an alarm he uses, so I unplugged it and plonked it on Kian’s bed.
The schoolboy's mother Sarah, 39, doused the burning duvet and mattress and put her son into the bath before he was taken to University Hospital.
