Are iPods exploding all over the world? An iPod touch music player belonging to an 11-year-old girl-Ellie Stanborough- from Liverpool, UK, blew up. When the girl’s father, Ken, contacted Apple to ask for a refund, Apple agreed on the condition that Stanborough family must promised not to talk about the incident. Apparently, Apple was gagging the owner. The family refused to sign the agreement and talked to the British news media.
"They're putting a life sentence on myself, my daughter and Ellie's mum, not to say anything to anyone. If we inadvertently did say anything, no matter what, they would take litigation against us. I thought that was absolutely appalling." Said Ellie’s father.

Do you have iPods? Does it work well? Apple is a reputed big corporation. Why do they gag the owner? Can’t they admit their faults honestly?

Could that be caused by the leakage of Lithium battery? Apple's lithium battery seems unsafe. A dozens of explosions have been reported.
