Samsung Electronics and Best Buy are grappling with a U.S. class-action lawsuit filed by Ray Kim Law, alleging false advertising of gaming features in Samsung's QLED 4K TVs. Meanwhile, Samsung affiliate Segi Retech forays into recycling industrial UPS batteries.
The lawsuit, filed by Ray Kim Law in the California Central District Court, alleges that certain Samsung QLED 4K televisions do not possess the advertised features crucial for smooth gaming experiences.
Features like Motion Xcelerator Turbo+, FreeSync, and HDMI 2.1 have been called into question. It's important to note that this marks the first consumer class action against Samsung TV products since 2018, when a lawsuit claimed certain Samsung LED TVs overheated, rendering them unusable.
In other noteworthy news, Segi Recycling Technology, a subsidiary of South Korea's KPS Corporation, known as Segi Retech, has ventured into the market for recycling uninterruptible power supply (UPS) batteries. This strategic move is part of an agreement with Samsung Electronics. Segi Retech will collect, transport, and properly dispose of industrial batteries discarded from multiple Samsung Electronics business sites across South Korea.
UPS batteries play a critical role in ensuring that servers continue to operate during power outages or fires. It's especially crucial for data centers that store vast amounts of corporate data. With the growing shift from lead-acid batteries to lithium-ion batteries, Segi Retech sees an opportunity to expand its business territory to the industrial battery market.
Although most UPS batteries are still lead-acid, the rapid spread of lithium-ion batteries over the past two years is undeniable, according to Segi Retech CEO Kim Min-hong. He added that as they prepare to enter the market for recycling discarded lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles, this is a significant chance for them to expand their business territory to the industrial battery market.
This revised text's improved structure and engaging style offer a clearer understanding of the subject matter while highlighting the key points of interest. Additionally, this development underscores Samsung's impact beyond televisions, demonstrating the company's commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible disposal of industrial batteries.
