Suntech: Some Workers Hurt in Plant Accident

Several of Suntech’s employees were injures at its plant in Wuxi, China, on Nov. 28–it’s unclear how many and to what extent, though. Research firm Wedge Partners reported that one worker was killed and seven injured in an explosion on a cell-diffusion line. Hours later, the company issued an announcement stating that seven of its workers were hurt, but said nothing about either an explosion or a fatality. It remains unclear exactly what happened.
