Are you serious with that question?
Here is the deal...
If my TV broke after a few days, the only place I can go to is the RETAILER, who then return the item to the WHOLESALER, who then return the item to the manufacturer. Now it become even more mysterious. Is the manufacturer the same as the maker/producer of the electronics? Maybe, or maybe not. Maybe there is an assembler of the defective TV. Samsung design the TV and produces SOME of the electronics, but the company must buy the plastics, the metals, the PCB, and a long list of other components. What we are seeing in this news article is the aggregate of many reports from many sources in the entire chain. Each of them noticed an increase of returns of defective items. Some products may not experience the same increase or none at all of defective items. But over time, individual investigations narrowed down to shiddy electronics from Chinese suppliers.
