Consumer Product Safety Commission Investigating Reports of Apple iPods Overheating

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is reportedly investigating claims that Apple Inc.’s popular iPod series can overheat and potentially catch fire.

According to several reports the CPSC has received numerous complaints about iPods overheating and causing burns while some have said their iPod has actually caught fire. Apple has called the reports isolated incidents but the CPSC is said to be investigating the claims.

There could be a problem with the lithium ion batteries used for the iPod. Both Dell and Apple were forced to recall millions of those batteries in 2006 after their laptop computers began overheating and causing fires.

While the CPSC has said they would investigate the claims filed by consumers they have pointed out that the current iPods don’t use the same type of battery that produced those results and burn claims have been relatively small in relation to how many iPod products are actually produced.
