may i suggest that if this is the case, they should also pay for fire insurance and health insurance subsidies, and maybe also life insurance subsidies as well.

- ggm 6y agodo cigarette lighter makers, (the gas ones) WD-40, pressurised hairspray, kerosine (for cleaning) or even wall-wart chargers do this? you've identified a risk. Its not actually different to a lot of other consumer risks. Maybe there is a vicarious liability to the original vendor, but I bet that dell battery had warning signs on it, the IBM ones I'm sitting on, definitely have yellow hazard markings and disposal information and the paper I got on delivery (and throw away unread) probably told me about a risk which I ignored. Kinda (I am saying) like you. You were told about this. Its been a "thing" long enough, there are signs in airports about packing Lithium batteries. Its a "thing" long enough that the 787 battery fire is a "thing" "I hung onto a potentially explosive battery long enough, it actually caught fire, despite having been told it, when I got it" isn't a good basis for an insurance obligation if you ask me.

It doesn't specifically say "don't keep me more than 5 years" or anything.
- marshmallow_12 6y agoi think you are wrong: this is a confirmed design flaw. Dell should bear more responsibility.
