Rational UK Response to Ecig Charging Incident

[AgentAnia]

SteveK writes in his blog about an ecig charging incident in the UK. http :// stevevape. com/e-cigarette-charging-fire-uk/

(Broken link, just in case...)

He doesn't give a link to the actual report, but quotes the borough council's spokeswoman regarding the incident:

A Darlington Borough Council spokeswoman said officers will be visiting the stallholder to find out where the product came from and to get further samples for testing.

“Findings from this will let us know if it is a one-off faulty item or if there is a design fault with the product. We will then take appropriate action,” she said.

“Any electrical item can develop a fault. As a general safety rule, we would advise people to follow the instructions supplied with the product and not to leave any electrical device, including mobile phones, unattended when it is being charged."

How sensible. How rational. Wouldn't it be nice if the media in this country reacted the same way?

Yes it would but our news is based on sensationalism. The exact same thing happens and there are little teasers about the " Silent Killer"
or "What household item will burn your children alive"

Stay tuned to the news at 11 to find out

That's not an alien baby. It's an alien adult. A clever one.
