Nobody did die though, nor is it very likely they would. And this is one pair out of however many million they've sold. I'm not arguing there shouldn't be compensation in this instance, nor an investigation into why it happened. But hypothetically if it was some one in a million space particle (which is obviously unlikely), I think it's pretty ludicrous to expect Bose to design for that eventuality.

> I think it's pretty ludicrous to expect Bose to design for that eventuality. That decision is, indeed, up to Bose. But should they choose to continue making a headphones that have a 1-in-N-million chance of exploding, this should be clearly indicated on every pair they sell. So that their competitors who choose to invest in safety would be able to reap the fruit if their labor in the free market.

  How many times are you going to say "exploding" to describe something that didn't explode? You're clearly cognizant of the fact you are lying, so why keep doing it? Why not just describe what happened accurately? Is it a concern that you can't make your point if you relate to the facts in a more accurate fashion, without the repeated hyperbole?

    >How many times are you going to say "exploding" I am going to say it every time I talk about Bose QuietComfort 35 II headphones, which violently exploded and left their user with chemical burns while they were wearing them and using normally. This is an accurate description. Allow me to refer you to Merriam-Webster dictionary for the meaning of the word "explode", which you have an issue with: >Definition of explode >1: to burst forth with sudden violence or noise from internal energy: such as >a): to undergo a rapid chemical or nuclear reaction with the production of noise, heat, and violent expansion of gases Bose QC 35 II headphones most certainly did undergo a rapid chemical reaction with the production of heat and violent expansion of gases. The violent expansion is what left the OP with chemical burns. You are welcome. [1] https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/explode https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/explode

      That same process happens to every log I burn in my fireplace. We call it burning. I'd never describe it as exploding even though it matches that definition.

        >That same process happens to every log I burn in my fireplace. Pray tell where you get the self-igniting logs. Last time it lit a fire, it took some effort to get it going. Also, feel free to take it to Webster. And The Free Dictionary[1]. Then come back to correct me that it's the battery in Bose QC-35 II that exploded, not the headphones, because surely it's an important detail worth debating.
