Best Buy Recalls MacBook Pro Batteries 56
redletterdave writes "A recent line of complaints from MacBook Pro users forced big box retailer Best Buy to finally issue a recall notice for 5,100 MacBook Pro replacement batteries after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advised customers to 'immediately stop using the recalled battery.' Both the CPSC and Best Buy received 13 individual instances of the MacBook Pro battery catching fire, with one incident resulting in 'a serious burn to a consumer's leg.'"

YES, it is. Subcontracting doesn't absolve you of shit. You are ultimately responsible for any tasks you assign to others.
Dell, IBM, "basically everyone else" are equally responsible - although of course any who have packaged the batteries as removable are showing a much more responsible approach.
