Mother of a 15yr old is had sued Apple for damages resulting from an 16GB iPod touch catching fire. The kid had a miserable outing at school with the iPod leaving him with 2nd degree burns on his legs – “the Apple iTouch had burned through Plaintiff A.V.’s pants pocket and melted through his nylon/spandex underwear, burning his leg.”
While under what charges Apple is being sued, or what amount is being demanded is not something that interests me. I am worried about an iPOD TOUCH EXPLODING / CATCHING FIRE.
It wouldn’t be appropriate to point out the OTHER possibilities in this case, but we would keep a watch on this story to get you the latest.
The plaintiff suffered second-degree burns as a result of the explosion, according to the complaint, and is seeking in excess of $225,000 in compensatory and punitive damages. An Apple representative said the company does not comment on pending litigation. [Source].
