A Grade 8 student in Maine suffered burns after her cellphone caught fire in her pocket while she was at school.
Kennebunk middle school principal Jeff Rodman told the Portland Press Herald that the girl heard a popping sound Friday morning and smoke started billowing around her.
Boys were herded from the room so the 14-year-old girl could shed her flaming pants. She also did the "stop, drop and roll" move to help put out the fire.
She was treated at a hospital.
Her mother had given her the Apple iPhone 5C two months earlier.
CBC News has requested information from Apple about possible causes.
