Explanation:
Maybe you know the Shimadzu name and maybe you
don't.... but please
pay attention! Shimadzu sells analytical
instrumentation for use in
scientific/research laboratory environments. This
company has engaged in
a variety of questionable, unethical and illegal
business practices that should
be of real concern to any potential customer or
decision maker considering
the purchase of new scientific equipment. Buyer
Beware after learning
about the other side of Shimadzu! Some indisputable
facts: 1) Shimadzu
has sued several former customers, 2) Shimadzu has
exposed customers to
hazardous materials, 3) Shimadzu has not always
trained employees in
HAZMAT issues, 4) Shimadzu has published fraudulent
credentials for
some instructor(s), 5) Shimadzu is under active
investigation by US federal
authorities, 6) Shimadzu has actively engaged in
censorship on the Internet,
7) Shimadzu products are being boycotted by some
college faculty, and 8)
Shimadzu's customer service department has been
known to LIE. Is this
company worthy of your business??? Please call the
competition if they're
not courting you already! More tantalizing
