Apple Ordered to Investigate Exploding iPod Nanos

Japan Asks Apple to Investigate Exploding iPods
Exploding gadgets are nothing new, but governments ordering companies to investigate them is. The Japanese government has ordered Apple to investigate a possible defect in the iPod Nano that occasionally causes the diminutive player to burst into flames.

The likely culprit is the media player's lithium-ion battery, which is the cause behind exploding cell phones and the piles of burning laptops. The Japanese government offered a strongly worded warning to Apple for failing to promptly investigate after an incident in January when a charging iPod shot sparks into the air.

However don't expect much from a company investigating itself.
