You might have heard about LG’s and Samsung’s efforts to get vendors to stop selling their batteries. This letter was sent to Gregory Conley by Samsung’s attorneys as part of that.
Samsung claims these sales are illegal and asks the AVA to help them prevent injuries (a good thing) and to help stop sales of Samsung batteries (not a good thing). The attorneys also have a long list of things they say the AVA could do.
Let that sink in…Samsung, a multi-billion dollar company, is asking the AVA to start a safety campaign, add warnings to their newsletter and web site, send a blast e-mail to all their members, send separate notices to all AVA shops and employees, make announcements at all AVA events, meetings, etc., and post an AVA press release.
Gregory Conley’s response to the letter on Twitter was awesome: https://twitter.com/GregTHR/status/1235383737623498754
