AT&T Recalls 17,000 Batteries
Posted on: Tuesday, 22 January 2008, 06:00 CST
AT&T has announced the replacement of 17,000 batteries that were used to back up power supply for its U-verse television network after two fires and two explosions.
Michael Coe, an AT&T spokesperson, said: "AT&T decided to replace the batteries after the last incident, which occurred in December 2007. Typically in this situation where we have four incidences we would do work with the vendor to diagnose the problem. We can't do that in this situation because the company is out of business, which is why we made a decision to replace all these batteries."
Avestor, the Canadian company that supplied the lithium-metal-polymer batteries went bankrupt in October 2006. AT&T stopped installing lithium-metal-polymer batteries from Avestor in the first quarter of 2007.
