The mother of a child in Cincinnati, Ohio is suing Apple and 10 unnamed retail employees from a nearby Apple Store “over an iPod touch that allegedly exploded in the child’s pocket.”

According to the complaint filed yesterday in the Southern District of Ohio (PACER: 1:09-cv-00170-HJW), the child had the “iTouch,” as the suit calls the device, in his pocket during school. The iPod touch was in the “off” position when it unexpectedly popped and caused the child to feel a burning sensation. At that time, he stood up and noticed that his pants were, in fact, on fire.
Yeah, I remember when I was a teenager, there was this whole 'touch' thing going on, and something popped and there was a burning sensation and an explosion in my pants. Never thought to sue anyone about it, though.
