One Dead in Gas Leak at Apple Supplier Factory

Another tragedy at an Apple supplier: A worker was killed and four others hurt by a gas leak at a Chinese factory in Suzhou owned by Catcher Technology. Authorities say hydrogen sulfide gas leaked from a liquid-waste treatment workshop, the Wall Street Journal reports. Catcher Technology makes metal casings and also supplies Dell. This particular factory has previously been given the worst possible safety rating, but a company spokesperson says conditions were improved. (More Apple suppliers stories.)
