Factory workers weren't behind this. If they were, the lot numbers would give it away. Samsung could have traced it back to the date/shift/factory as to what the batches were. Instead the bad batteries have been made by different companies at different times.
From everything I have read so far, the batteries aren't to blame but are getting it none the less. They really need to look at the charging circuit and overload protections. Something tells me that the batteries are getting damaged from some type of runaway when charging and when the battery discharges, the damage causes a thermal runaway and thus a fire.
I dun think factory workers or even the engrs are so skilful that they can sabotage the battery until they blow up only during usage. Surely some would have blown up right at the factory if they do so.
But I sure believe some of the reported cases are sabotage. There's nothing difficult to make your phone burn, took a pic and sent it to whatever online media.
Cannot believe Samsung still dun have a single investigation result yet from the tens of cases since last week
