Boys iPod Touch "pops" and burrns his pants and leg...

**Meatyguy** · 03-19-2009, 08:01 AM

This is an interesting story that a friend of mine showed me the other day, it's about a 15-year-old kid who had an "iTouch" in his pocket where it "popped" and preceded to light his pants on fire...

Here's the link...
Boy gets burned by iTouch

"My pants, they are burninating!"

On a serious note, that must've been both uncomfortable, and dangerous to certain male parts.

Wwo! that really sucks U: But ya know, i could easily see that happening

**Meatyguy** · 03-19-2009, 09:45 AM

I guess that something somewhat similar has happened before... I guess that a charging cable started burning once and it burned the cable and the slot to where the cable goes in. But yea, that must've been a very bad day to be a guy... with an iTouch in his pocket...

iTorch.

i've never heard of this happening to anyone else before. crazy.

"Ars reported that the plaintiff's mother says, “the family was not warned in advance of the potential risk that the "iTouch" would cause serious bodily injury, and Apple's 10 retail employees had a duty to not only test for this, but also warn customers."

i laughed at this part. im sure the makers of the itouch ran many tests but because the device had not exploded while in someone's possession, i don't see the need for them to warn everyone that it might explode if they buy it. probably lose sales if they did that.

but because this did happen, im sure something will be done, probably a small label on the box

ps. for the bolded part, the first thing that came to my head was a retarded person hitting themselves with an itouch.

I've never heard of this happening. Welcome to what happens when you put technology in the palm of a retard's hand. Doesn't matter how high-spec the **** is, if you put it in the hands of an ape, funny things happen.

also

“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,” the complaint said

I hope these people die in a fire. Too bad the kid didn't die from the accident. *thumbs up* way to cheapen emotional distress so you can get money.

**funmonkey54** · 03-19-2009, 02:31 PM

Or, go under the table with it all. Ask for $500,000 even to keep it all quiet and just let them put up the warning publicity free. If they refuse, you can sue.

haha, sucks for him, shows that you should never buy from the flea markets. (/joke for those who will not get it) :P

Nice. I'm gonna purposely have my laptop explode on me in an airplane and sue HP for a quarter grand.

EDIT: I'll sue the airlines too since that's where it happened. After all, if somebody breaks into your house and hurts themselves, they can sue you and win.

cedolad · 03-19-2009, 03:47 PM

This makes wanna buy an iTouch for the people I hate now!

**Kekeb** · 03-19-2009, 03:56 PM

I decided to read the article, and got to here:

until I choked on a cupcake I was eating due to laughter. That is all.

Oh.

This is all.

"Happy birthday! Here's an iTouch!" ":O Don't you hate me though?" "Yeah, it'll pay off later."

**musicdemon** · 03-19-2009, 06:06 PM

It seems like Apple's products tend to run hot. This isn't the first Apple product that's gone up in flames, lol.

One of my friends had a MacBook Pro and the thing would get so hot you couldn't put it on your lap.
