If they were properly tested wouldn't they perform as expected so there would be no need for a recall? How many unexpected and unanticipated things can happen? Of course the question is ludicrous since if they are unexpected and unanticipated it is not possible to know the answer. Someone has to decide where the line is drawn. Who has that responsibility and what is the track record of said person and does he/she have a dog in the fight){profit is a very big dog) so lies are told to sell more to customers. The business of safety and quality control and quality assurance and telling the truth about how a product performs is ripe for scoundrels and thieves and liars to make huge profits.

Bezos is now in the grocery-store business, along with books, student loans, and other endeavors. Avacadoes and lobster are two foods that people really like, but that are more expensive. I guess you might consider them "luxury foods". Bezos is hoping to attract more customers to his new business by selling these items for a cheaper price? That is, cheaper than other stores sell them. Do you think it will work? less
