Explosion at iPad plant in China. Apple investigates explosion at iPad factory in China. Apple could face pressure to review its position in China after two people died in an explosion at the Chinese factory which produces the iPad 2. The explosion rocked Foxconn's Chengdu manufacturing facility late yesterday. Local reports said it happened in the building where Foxconn keeps the iPad 2 production line.
Foxconn, best known as a supplier of Apple’s iPhone and iPad, has already come under pressure in the past 18 months, after more than 13 factory workers committed suicide. Critics say the company’s employees are subjected to harsh working conditions, long hours and low pay.
