Nokia Sued Over Someone Else's Exploding Batteries?
Stories of Nokia phones exploding are nothing new -- though, in almost every case so far, it's been shown that the culprit has been a counterfeit battery. We've complained in the past that Nokia has been rather insensitive to reports of exploding phones. Even if it isn't their fault, they should be a bit more sensitive to the problem. However, that doesn't mean they deserve to get sued over what does not appear to be their problem. It's important to remember that batteries are basically mini-bombs -- and a badly made one can certainly explode.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
