This Samsung faulty battery story is like a zombie. It just won’t die. This was highlighted by a “minor” fire that required a response by 110 firefighters and 19 trucks to a factory operated by Samsung SDI. They supplied batteries for the infamous Galaxy Note 7. Apparently, this was the cause:
The fire was contained to a part of the site used for waste processing, including faulty batteries. There were no casualties or significant impact on the operations of the plant, although the local fire department was called, said a Samsung SDI spokesperson.
That’s right. Among other tings, batteries caused the fire. At this point the jokes just write themselves don’t they. Another point. This was described as a “minor” fire in the story. What kind of “minor” fire requires 110 firefighters and 19 trucks? That doesn’t sound very “minor.” Though this town
was the site of an massive fire that killed scores. Plus lithium isn’t exactly the safest thing to have around a fire. Thus maybe this was a prudent response. Still, it is not good optics for Samsung.
