Agreed. As we've seen from. The USB typeC stuff, seriously screwing power cables and batteries is really bad.

If you put a crap SD card in a laptop it might be the wrong size. If you put a bad counterfit battery in and it explodes and permanently disfigures someone you've got a PR nightmare before people have figured out the real reason.



Especially today when a single tweet can spark that PR nightmare and social media sites will take a title and run with it without ever doing any fact checking.

If i were lenovo, i'd be doing the same exact thing, and i'm honestly surprised we don't see more of this stuff in things like cables, chargers, etc...
