Coming from Faux News this is questionable, but: Apple iPods have burned users or caught fire more than a dozen times, but neither the company nor the federal government has disclosed this to the public, according to a Seattle television station. KIRO-TV says it used the Freedom of Information Act to get more than 800 pages of Consumer Product Safety Commission documents regarding iPod-related injuries and property damage. Within the documents were details of at least 15 separate incidents where iPods overheated, sparked, smoked, caused burns or caught fire.
The station became interested when an individual of Arlington, Washington, was mystified by a penny-sized burn on her chest in November 2008. [!!! Danger, Danger! - rms] KIRO-TV filed an FOIA request in December 2008, but said the CPSC documents took seven months to arrive, delayed by Apple lawyers filing several exemptions. An Apple representative had no official comment. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,534275,00.html http://www.kirotv.com/money/20089894/detail.html ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Power corrupts.
