Bring Your Manufacturing Back To The United States

Submitted 4 years ago

I have had to stop using duracell because of battery leakage. I am positive that like many companies, your leadership at some point must of salivated at the thought of the margins between manufacturing overseas versus the cost of manufacturing in the US. The problem simple comes down to quality and safe delivery of products. When you went to China, or whatever geolocation site you're using now, your product went straight down the toilet. Its a shame, Id rather spend eight times the cost and get a battery that last or at least doesn't leak for years. It's also odd, that I found an old childhood flashlight of mine in the attic that had duracell batteries in it from the the 1970's. No they didn't work, but they also didn't leak or ooze that unknown chemicals they do now. For an example, I placed two AA batteries in an LED candle and placed it on my pottery barn nightstand. They next morning I went to turn it off, and as I lifted the candle up, the wood stain was completely removed. Can you imagine, the toxins being introduce to kids, both internally and externally. Adult toys, that some innocent person places these batteries in, then starts to ooze this toxic waste... you got bigger problems than bright ideas, you need to get your standards back up to par.. I'll never use your product again, thanks for destroying all my battery operated gear with your leaking oozing product line.. Get it together and make your batteries here, up too stuff..
