Product recalls are such a joke in this country. I’d encourage you to google section 6B of the Consumer Product Safety Act, which lets companies restrict and edit what the CPSC can tell the public about their products. Read more

Your logic became really popular during the pandemic and I really don’t understand why people cling to it so strongly. If covid killed someone with a weakened immune system, they still died of covid.
