A young boy in Detroit, Michigan has escaped serious injury when his pocketed PSP reportedly spontaneous burst into flames.
12 year old Harold Clay had switched the hand-held gaming device off and put in his pants pocket whilst in class at school.
"He said it wasn't a gradual heat. It really started heating up. He's always been taught, burn- fire- smoke, you drop and you roll. So, he was in his band class and he dropped and rolled," Said Harold's mother Sheila Clay.
According to local spokesperson Adrian Christie, speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald , Sony was investigating the issue but "this case is an isolated matter".
"I do not have access to the case specifics but I can assure you that we stand by the quality of all our first party PSP hardware and batteries," he said.
"We will be investigating the matter closely to ensure that whatever the circumstances we prevent it from occurring again."
Police in Michigan investigating the fire confirmed that the PSP was not on at the time of the incident, but there has not been confirmation of the type of battery pack. Sony do have a warning on their website advising to use only genuine battery packs and chargers.
The boy suffered second degree burns in the incident.
