I do not know of any general product that has been "caught" in the EU and been made public as to the name of the company product type etc. Kind regards, John John Burke (408) 515 4992 _____ From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of John Lau Hon-Shing Sent: Monday, July 23, 2007 9:02 PM To: [log in to unmask]; (Leadfree Electronics Assembly Forum); TechNet Subject: RE: [RoHSUSAPushback] Xbox 360 1 billion dollar reliability problem Dear John: Would you please tell me, as of today, is there any product get caught by any of the EU countries?
