LG laptop exploded

South Korean electronics firm LG Electronics has just had to open an emergency investigation, after the reporter of a reporter's LG laptop suddenly exploded and caught fire.

" LG Electronics is working with LG Chem, a battery maker, to investigate the cause of the incident. Because under normal circumstances, such incidents cannot happen, " LG representative said.

Earlier, on Tuesday, the Korean press scrambled to report that a reporter's notebook in the water suddenly gave off black smoke and burst into flames.

Fortunately, no one was injured and did not cause any significant loss of property.

LG said it is considering all relevant components and devices and will " cooperate with a third party to make the most independent and reliable conclusions ".

Both LG Electronics and LG Chem are currently members of South Korea's LG Group. " We have strictly tested our products before leaving the factory, not only in terms of functionality but also in design and safety ."

Serial trouble

This is not the first time LG Electronics has trouble with an explosion product. In late November 2007, a quarry worker in South Korea was killed in his office with a molten battery inside his breast pocket.

Police have identified it as a lithium-ion battery manufactured by LG Electronics, and it is suspected that it is the culprit that caused the victim's death.

At that time, LG Electronics representative also affirmed that "its battery has been strictly inspected before the product is shipped, especially in terms of safety ."

Fortunately for LG, after only a few days of investigation, the police discovered the true culprit of the case was the victim's colleague. After accidentally stabbing the deadly person, this man was afraid of crime, so he set up a fake school scene and provided false statements to the police.
