iPod Touch Sets Kid's Pants on Fire, Mom Files Lawsuit


A Ohio kid put his iPod Touch in his pocket when it apparently blew up and set his pants (and underwear) on fire. The boy was treated for second-degree burns.


"He continues to suffer from both physical and mental conditions which will cause him to suffer pain, mental distress, emotional distress, and otherwise for the rest of his life."


In addition to suing Apple, the boy's mom is also suing 10 Apple Store employees for over $150,000 and lawyer fees. The lawsuit says that the iPod was turned off when it caught on fire, which doesn't sound correct. More to come I'm sure. [Engadget]
