cat urine

I knew we shouldn’t have let our black and white cat Diflyn near that lorry with Dell on the side! This story tells us:

Owners of the new Dell Latitude 6430u have kicked up a stink on support forums after some complained that the laptops were giving off a “smell like cat urine”.

The first user to post under the topic “New 6430u smells awful” said that while the “machine is great” it smells as if it was “assembled near a tomcat’s litter box”. A number of users replied saying they had also been met with the smell, and had blamed it on their cats.

Technicians from Dell responded to the growing number of complaints by recommending people cleaned out their systems with wipes and compressed air.

When that didn’t work, the company launched an investigation to discover the source of the problem.

Senior Dell technician “SteveB” said today: “The issue was fully investigated and Dell has determined that the smell is not at all related to cat urine or any biological contaminate. Further testing revealed that there is no health hazard related to the smell.”
