Quantum Phone Danger

Intrigued by this from the BBC about using Quantum effects to make phones scroll more intelligently. 
Here at Husborne Crawley we're always in favour of finding productive uses for science.  But you've got to worry, in line with the principle of improbability, that if you press the wrong button, your underwear could be teleported three feet to the right.  I feel the phones' manufacturers should publish a disclaimer to say that if this happens you've no-one to blame but Paul Dirac.  And stay away from really hot cups of tea while using them.
I mean, imagine the newspaper headlines.  We get enough health scares as it is, without the papers coming out with "Quantum Phone half-killed my cat".
