Such deaths are not considered to be "news" . A very small proportion of lithium batteries cause problems . I think the last "recall" I saw mentioned was of 50 million batteries, and that wasn't because of any fatalities . There are about a million or so cars in NZ . . . they kill many people every year . The numbers would be considerably greater in China and Korea (and possibly the rate, as well) . How many people die from brain tumors and other diseases from cell phone use . It can't be proven yet as it is very difficult to prove .	robbyp (2751)
616248	2007-11-29 09:40:00	Totally different and that is like comparing apples with oranges. How many car engines just explode for no reason? Is Microsoft making cars now?	R2x1 (4628)
616249	2007-11-29 11:42:00	Is Microsoft making cars now? yeah, and their major competitor, apple, makes ones that cost twice as much and only work on 5% of the roads - only the ones starting with the letter "i":lol: then there's the linux cars - free to buy and free to run, but they have no warranty, there's way too many to choose from, and the average joe doesn't even know they exist	motorbyclist (188)
616250	2007-11-29 11:47:00	How many people die from brain tumors and other diseases from cell phone use. It can't be proven yet as it is very difficult to prove. that could be because it doesn't happen all the research and testing with microwaves and cellphones i've read has found that while certain frequencies can heat body cells (like a microwave oven), the frequency and more importantly power output of the cell phone is far too low to do any damage you're probably more likely to get cancer from the sun, all those xrays you got for your broken wrist, or your fire alarm:lol:	motorbyclist (188)

616253	2007-11-30 03:35:00	Have a look here:- www.smh.com.au I am rather tired of urban myths Fortunately I live in a rural area. Why speculate? The facts may come out sooner or later.	Sweep (90)

616255	2007-11-30 07:12:00	Hey..I just reported the story! I said it was "strange" in the very first line too! So there...........................	SurferJoe46 (51)
