Seattle, Washington television station KIRO 7 reported last week on an 800 page report by the American Consumer Product Safety Commission into reports that some iPods have apparently burst into flames for no observable reason.
The report included 15 cases across the United States of iPod-related fires including some that caused injuries. There are over 175 million iPods across the globe. No recall is planned.
Consumer reporter Amy Clancy obtained the report after a seven month long process under US federal access to information laws.
