100,000 Sony Batteries Recall

There was a big recall announcement by the major notebook vendors from HP, DELL, Fujitsu and etc 2 years back. We thought the battery exploited issues had been fixed now, but yet it does not actually. Recent announcement 2 days back, Sony is recalled another 100,000 batteries again which also due to the similar technology issue with what happened 2 years back.

As a consumer, I sincerely said that this should not happen for 2nd time as most of the brand which is impacted now is consider all the top brand in the market that the consumer had been confident to. With the 2nd round of recall now, I am just sad to see that the cost cutting always screw up the technology reliabilities and safety. Are they supposed to put the consumer on the risk while they would try to archive the costs lower exercise they need? The answer is a balance required in the middle.

I believe the problem batteries should not be settled with only replacement and the manufactured and selling company should require to compensate to the consumer who spend their money on the products which could had been risk to their safety. Again as I said, I hate to see this happen as it does show the lack of professionalism and safety consideration when the producer trying to sell their products to the consumer. Just similar to the poison milk issues recently happen in China. I do not see there is any different in both cases.
