APC hoax ?

achitnis pointed this out last night

After the recent article on slashdot about APC recalling 2.1 million UPS units ,there was a page put up to find out if your UPS was defective. The info is here

Now notice the “Made in XXXXX” part. ( right above the bar code )

Interesting ?
.. well whats even more interesting is the fact that there is no APC factory in Bangalore.

    Quite possible

    First, I couldnt find any mention of Bangalore anywhere in the two links that you sent to me. Perhaps I’m looking in the wrong place, but hey.

    Second, its quite possible that they are getting stuff from here and putting their label on it. The owner of Aeon power systems (they make UPS et all) used to live next door (a couple of years ago). I remember him telling me about stuff like this all the time.
