Apple under fire for exploding iPods

Apple iPod is the most popular digital media player product in the world.

Millions of them have been sold around the world.

A couple of these iPods have been reportedly to be defective and some of them in fact caught fire and blew up.

One such case is making a lot of news in the media these days.

Ken Stanborough claims that his daughter’s iPod Touch exploded a couple of weeks ago. It was out of warranty.

He contacted Apple about the incident seeking a refund for the iPod Touch.

He did get a letter back from Apple which said that they could provide a refund provided he would keep the matter out of public eyes.

Apple is being criticized heavily for this kind of a response. Legal experts believe Apple cannot put such a condition without the involvement of the courts.
