Smashing Siemens refrigerator

Renowned blogger Luo Yonghao smashed three Siemens refrigerators in front of the company's Chinese headquarters in Beijing on Nov 20. The act was a protest against the German company's negative attitude toward rectifying design flaws in its products, Luo said.

Siemens had responded to Luo's allegation before by issuing a statement on its micro blog on Oct 15, which said that some consumers "encountered the problem of uneasy closing of the refrigerator door," and that the company has been in contact with them. It refused to recall the "problematic" refrigerators as demanded by Luo, as Siemens claimed there were no "design flaws".
