Dell to be sued over “Exploding” Laptops

Dell is to be sued over the “Exploding” Laptop fiasco. A customer from Canada has complained that the company carried on selling the computers after it knew they suffered from problems. It alleges that design defects make certain Inspirons susceptible to overheating and that this overheating will cause extra wear to the motherboard, resulting in premature failure.

Dell computers do have the usual warranties for one year in Canada, just as with the UK, although currently Dell offers three-year warranties on Inspirons in the UK.
