Engadget has reported that 30,000 LG Spyder cell phones are being recalled for having poor quality when dialing 911. Bad connection and unsatisfactory voice quality during 911 calls prompted the cell phone giant to recall 30,000 phones. This is actually pretty scary because this was the main reason people started buying cell phones in the 90's, even though today I'm guessing most people would rather have access to texting than 911, which is sad...This isn't the first problem for LG, who pleaded guily for price fixing LCD screens between 2001 and 2006. The price fixing cost them a $400 million fine. This was extremely unethical, and I am personally glad I have never owned an LG phone.
Back to the 911 problem... Engadget reported that LG was very active with the recall and that they only had a single report of poor 911 connection and no deaths. This is a step in the right direction, but LG still has a record of being very unethical and I would not recommend purchasing an LG product.
