		<description>I purchased an iPhone 3GS that malfunctioned nearly two years ago. Since then I have been requesting safety information from Apple that I believe should be in the public domain and would answer questions regarding the safe usage of the iPhone.

I have not hired an attorney to represent me in this matter. I have not requested any monetary damages other than what Apple may deem appropriate. To date Apple has refused to answer my questions. I have filed many complaints with government agencies and congressional representatives to no avail.

If Apple is claiming its device is harmless, and or not capable of causing physical damage, I would like to know why my private medical records were requested, why the iPhone has a unique heat shutoff feature, and why Apple has not answered my questions?

I would also like to know why Apple has not responded to my complaint on the Consumer Protection Agencies, SaferProducts.gov site. The report can be found by entering “iphone” in their search for “Reports and Recalls”, or by going to http://saferproducts.gov/ViewIncident/1173237.  These reports are checked for accuracy and manufacturers can respond to the government before it is publicly posted.

I believe my privacy has been violated and I was extorted into giving Apple my personal medical records, under the guise that if I provide my records, they would release information pertinent to an accurate medical diagnosis. Almost two years after the incident, I am still experiencing unusual sensations and sensitivity to sunlight where a malfunctioning superheating iPhone touched my face. 

My identity, medical records and private information were accidentally made publicly accessible by the saferproducts.gov site, until they were notified of the problem. 

One should be asking the question, is Apple conducting unauthorized medical experiments on its users?</description>
