13. Look at you, making sure I know you're joking about this guy's death. My point stands, though.

This is not the first, and it won't be last, time a product kills or injures someone.

Sometimes the product takes a fix, before it leaves the factory and it's deemed not worth the fix. Sometimes the issues become obvious later, but a recall is not issued until several have been hurt or killed. We've all seen these cases, including in the auto industry, and we will continue to see them until the individuals involved in the lethal decisions are held responsible.
