'I sleep in the nude and this large
red mark was all down one side to the nipple,' Ms Baxter revealed in an
interview with the Sun newspaper. She says her
mother left
scarred for life after charging mobile scorched her as she slept.
The
14-year-old had just arrived for her French class at a middle school in
Kennebunk, Maine, when the device spontaneously set alight and burnt her thigh
and back.
Ms
Baxter, whose wound later became infected, now fears that she may not be able
to breastfeed a second child should she have one.
'It's
dreadful,' she added. 'Imagine if my daughter had been on that side of the bed
and it had burned her face.'
When
I touched the phone, it was so hot, I couldn't pick it up.' Ms
Baxter's experience is not the first time that unwary users have found
themselves injured by an overheating iPhone.
Just
two weeks ago, Jake Parker, 18, woke up to find himself with a painful burn on
his arm after dozing off draped over his iPhone 5.
And
in February, a teenage girl was left with second degree burns after her iPhone
caught fire while in her back pocket at school.see more pics below..
