Nikkei is reporting that Apple has been asked to pay a Tokyo couple ¥600,000 (about $7,425) as medical fees and pain and suffering by Tokyo district court after their first-generation iPod caught with fire. The prosecutor told Nikkei that the court rarely finds Apple at fault for these kinds of incidents in Japan. A representative from Apple Japan Public Relations told Nikkei “we cannot comment without confirming with our American head office.”
