Schoolgirl left with iPhone shaped third degree burns after case leaked acid onto her leg.


A nine-year-old girl’s leg has been badly burned after her iPhone case began leaking acid. 

Olivia Retter from Hertfordshire, has sadly been left scarred for life by the phone case – which has also left an imprint of an iPhone in third degree chemical burns. Olivia’s phone was resting on her leg as she slept in her bed, and shortly began leaking what her mother, Karly Retter, described to be acid.
When Olivia woke the following morning, she found her sore thigh looking excruciatingly red. After realizing it the cause of the burns, Olivia inspected her phone – which was found to have allowed acid to leak through the edge of the phone, although the crack itself wasn’t visible.
Karly posted the photos on Facebook to express her horror.It was made clear that it was the £5.99, New Look case alone that had caused the burns and that Apple were in no way at fault.
