The "Average" Consumer

Well actually it is
If Ford or GM has a recall none of us blame the actual part maker but the automotive company we purchased the car from. It really is the responsibility of the company Toshiba etc. to maintain constant quality sampling and testing on parts from outside vendors.

I don't look at my IBM laptop and think that the battery was made by someone else, I bought it from IBM, and they are responsible for the parts.

but ... they don't explode

It is quite conceivable that they don't have any legal argument when suing for "potential harm" but have a good case with harm to the brand. Seems pretty dumb to piss on them for this when suing for something that 'could have happened' in U.S. courts would obviously go nowhere.

They can probably make a good case that customers won't buy their brand anymore because they're afraid that yet another battery would explode (even if the battery is from Joe Shmo company). A customer may blame Toshiba for not performing proper quality assurance or something similar.
