Something that makes “accidental” emergency calls should have been caught in quality testing and should never have shipped.

Meh, it's probably phones with very loose power buttons who are the culprit. I don't think my current phone has gotten its power button accidentally pressed even once and I keep it in my pocket pretty much 16/7 [not while sleeping tho].

I use my pockets to hold stuff. That stuff has triggered emergency mode on my phone at least five times so far this year while driving. You know, the one time I shouldn't be futzing with a phone to turn off the blaring alarm to avoid calling five-o

It's quite easy to accidentally do that when trying to adjust the volume without looking.
