iPod too noisy for french law


Recommended Posts

Apple Computer has pulled its iPod music player from store shelves in France because the device is capable of producing noise levels that exceed government regulations.

The Mac maker confirmed Monday that it has stopped shipments in that country for the next 15 days as it works on a fix that will keep the device from producing more than the 100 decibel maximum allowed under French law.

Although the iPod has been on the market for nearly a year, Apple said in a statement that it has only recently learned of the problem.

This is just a little odd..........is this law for the protection of people's hearing or just to keep people from complaining about someone blasting music they don't like?
