Apple has agreed to a recall of first-generation iPod nanos in South Korea, according to the Wall Street Journal . The company was asked to perform the recall in a June 25th motion by the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards, as a result of a number of complaints about batteries overheating or even exploding. “Although the overheating problem doesn’t affect the batteries that are being used now in iPod nanos,” Apple says in a KATS statement, “concerned customers can get a replacement battery.” Problems with first-generation Nano batteries emerged in Japan , where several incidents occurred in 2008 that not only destroyed players but caused injury, also threatening damage to surrounding objects and furniture. Apple has generally agreed to replace at-risk batteries through AppleCare, but the policy has not been given much publicity outside of media reports. In March, a lawsuit was filed over an exploding iPod touch . Filed under : iPod , troubleshooting Other story tags : iPod nano , Korea Original source: feeds.macnn.com , delivered by rss-farm.ru
