"Well the batteries haven't caught on fire yet. I'm sure they're fine, despite the serious manufacturing defects that increase the risk of a fire substantially."

You realize they stopped selling them, right? They don't do this for "nothing to worry about."

>increase the risk of a fire substantially

The article doesn't state by how much it increased.

>You realize they stopped selling them, right?

I don't think Amazon is an authority on battery safety and are airing on the side of safety than making an actual judgements on the safety of it.

		That lower than .5 mm margin on those edges may not have caused fires - yet - but if nothing is done about it then one day they will. That's an accident waiting to happen.
