Dell Recalls 4 Million Batteries
In the largest consumer-electronics recall in history, Dell has been forced to call back more than 4 million laptop batteries because of possible fire danger. What do you think?
Zach Pufall,
Student
"That's too bad. My Dell laptop's constant overheating was the only thing I could rely on it for."
Casey Hamer,
Appliance Repairman
"Recalls are such hassles—the packaging, the shipping, the waiting. Frankly, I'd rather save the time and just let my house burn down."
Carolle Fields,
Network Program Assistant
"Can I have mine shipped straight to the Bangalore call center? Because I'd like 'Jim' to take a shot turning it off and on for awhile."
