Apple said the batteries in Nanos sold between September 2005 and December 2006 could "overheat and pose a safety risk." This particular problem has been known about for several years now, and was the target of an investigation by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry in 2008 after claims were made that sparking units were causing fires and leading to minor burns. Apple later began a replacement program in Japan, and on a case-by-case basis elsewhere. It is ridiculous that it has not been fixed by now. This could be a potential civil suit. People should have been receiving burns from a battery. Apple should apologize.
