A 10-year old kid got some second-degree burns after his pants caught on fire when an iPod touch exploded in his pants. The MP3 player was turned off at the time of the fire but his pants did catch fire:

Plaintiff A.V. immediately ran to the bathroom and took off his burning pants with the assistance of a friend. On said date and at said time, the Apple iTouch had burned through Plaintiff A.V.’s pants pocket and melted through his nylon/spandex underwear, burning his leg.

Well is that possible at all? Will nylon melt at temperatures less that 374 degreees? How much will Apple pay for all this?
