Japanese product safety officials have said a defect in the lithium-ion battery is suspected in the iPod Nano.
Apple Japan has not commented on the alleged defect but has been instructed by authorities to find out the cause of what it has been categorised as a fire linked to the iPod.
Apple has been told it must report back to the government after making an assessment of the problem.
