More Sony Batteries Recalled

Scott Hagerman passes along news of yet another recall of Sony laptop batteries. The batteries in question, manufactured in the same timeframe as those involved in the massive 2006 recall, are in laptops sold by HP, Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Acer. Neither Apple nor Sony itself used these batteries in their laptops. This time 100,000 batteries are involved — 65,000 of them sold outside of the US — vs. the 10 million recalled in 2006. The Consumer Product Safety Commission fielded 19 reports of batteries overheating and/or catching fire.

Firing is insulting to the victims.
I *dearly* hope a super-rich-parents' 2-year old infant dies in this battery fire.
Then we have a solid case for murder against Sony CEO and Sony US.
Now, since Sony (like all other corps) claim they are a *person*, let them feel the effects of being indicted and convicted of murder.
The entire board should be hanged till death for the murder of a 2-year old; in public.
That will freeze any such quality vs money discussions in companies. Only one lesson is needed.
