In Australia, an iPod nano caught fire while being charged on a PC. Since the limited warranty was over, the consumer was not able to get a replacement right away.
Another iPod incident happened in the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport while a man was working in the airport. His iPod nano set his pants on fire. Apple Inc. refused to release a statement regarding this issue.
In addition, an iPod nano sparked in Japan in January while it was recharging. Although no one was injured during the incident, Apple Inc. is currently investigating it. It was reported on August 19, 2008 that 17 incidents of abnormal overheating with 1st-generation iPod nano units while recharging had been reported in Japan, including cases in which tatami mats had been charred.[
