The <A href="http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-ohsdce/case_no-1:2009cv00170/case_id-128728/">lawsuit</A>, 
  which has been filed with a court in Ohio, accuses Apple of “gross

The legal action has been bought by Lynette Antrobus from Cincinnati, who 
  claims that her son’s iPod touch music player spontaneously combusted in his 
  trouser pocket while he was at school on Dec 4 last year.

Documents filed with Ohio Southern District Court state that the boy, who 
  cannot be named for legal reasons, heard an “unexpected pop” from the 
  device, which was switched off, followed by a “burning sensation” and the 
  swift realisation that his “pants” had caught fire.

“Plaintiff A.V immediately ran to the bathroom and took off his burning pants 
  with the assistance of a friend,” the document reads. “[The iPod touch] had 
  burned through Plaintiff A.V’s pants pocket and melted through his 
  nylon/spandex underwear, burning his leg.”
