Fake Charger

[marand]

The chargers we are talking about from NDB are 'NEW i4' ... it doesn't have buttons on the side or an EU 'tag' and no they aren't passing authentification.

Thank you thats the one I got from him and it passed authentication. Thanks for the clarification.

I concur wholeheartedly, although at this point civil liability should be the least of his concerns. Whether unknowingly (snort!) or not, he sold a dangerous defective item to the public, now that has come to light he has a statutory duty of care to fulfil unless he wants to open himself up for prosecution for criminal negligence. (Disclaimer: IANAL & I don't play one on TV either!). Ineffectual protestations that he's emailed everyone who he knows might have one of these telling them to destroy them and he'll issue a replacement aren't going to impress the judiciary.

Product recalls exist for a reason - so each and every dangerous unit can be accounted for. Samsung didn't WANT to issue a recall when their phone batteries started doing phosphorous grenade impressions. Tesco, Morrisons et al didn't WANT to plaster notices all over their stores admitting some of their steak might have a Grand National pedigree, they did so because it's the effing law to do so. The safety and well being of the general public comes first. Lame half measures like emailing your customers to burn the evidence if they have one is woefully insufficient, this doesn't account for any that may have been accidentally left in the back of a taxi, lost, stolen. sitting in the window of a local charity shop, people who use Spam trap email accounts when they buy online so may never even see said warning, people who for one reason or another may have switched ISPs and no longer even have access to the email account he has on record, etc etc. If you've sold a potential incendiary device, you do everything and anything you can to warn as many people as you can, customers or not.

I agree. What worries me is as you have said how many of these have been left in a taxi, charity shop or cash generator shop. There has to be some liability because of the possibility of the danger of serious injury or death and there has to be some sort of penalty for saying to customers get rid of the evidence. Either way Josh is in big trouble.

I posted a link earlier today from Yell. Com of the Leeds area trading standards office his local branch. Is it worth contacting them.

I think Trading Standards complaints now go through the Citizen Advice Bureau, who then pass the complaint on having assessed it . Having said that, this is so serious a direct approach may work...

Let's hope they reinstate all the negative reviews for next day batteries [emoji35]

I hope they pull there review scheme completely from him, too many reviews were blackmailed into upping stars for refunds etc

He's blocked me from his page. Doesn't like the truth. The comments on there are farcical. He's an absolute Muppet.

Guessing he didn't appreciate the screen grab last night either!

 

[fyslexic ducker]

Still no recall on his site.
That kinda sums it all up really,the only sorry he feels is for getting busted and his image,seems he couldnt give a shit about the potential damage/harm done by his actions and now inaction.
Have you ever seen a battery vent next day batteries?
