    My mom got those Shrek glasses. Before the recall, I think I wanted to drink out of one of them when my mom told me they were for collecting. A while after she got the whole set, the recall happened, but she kept the glasses on a high shelf for decoration.

    In 2014 we exposed the concealment of a deadly defect that General Motors kept hidden since 2002. That defect killed my daughter in 2005 and many after. My top goal was to make the cost of not recalling so expensive that GM will think twice about doing that again. That ignition switch recall shown at minute 14:30 suggests we may have hit that goal.

    Hehe, my sister had an Easy Bake Oven way back in the 80's when we grew up. Suffice to say, it did predict the future. Somehow, she always managed to burn everything she put in there. I have no idea how either. But, usually I could tell if she was using it as I'd smell burnt cookies or cakes. And she still can't cook at all or even make food. Our mother makes a really good item called 'Spaghetti Salad,' which is basically cooked spaghetti, russian dressing, tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, and red onions. It's really good and easy to make. Somehow she managed to make it into this mess of noodle mush with soggy vegetables, and the mush had absorbed all the dressing.

    My first car was a 76 Pinto. When I heard about the gas tank problem I ordered a tank shield from Ford and had it installed. Shortly after that installation the recall was issued. I took my car to the dealer expecting a refund for the already installed shield. Instead the mechanic told me it was difficult to install the second shield with the already installed one 😏
    The video didn't mention the Hartz flea spray recall. My cat, Sinbad, had the worse reaction our vet saw. He was bouncing of the walls at home. Hartz sent me a check for $25 dollars to compensate. The vet bill was much higher since he had to stay at the vet to be watched and treated. I believe it damaged his kidneys too. We never cashed the check. Our Toyota Camry was recalled for the gas pedal, visors (twice) one still won't work & dashboard. They never completed the visor replacement properly and refused to make it right. I never received the dashboard recall and they refused to take care of the problem.

During the baby formula problem and for almost two years afterwards he would bring almost a full extra large suitcase stuffed with American baby formula for business associates as well as their family and friend who had babies. You have to remember in certain parts of China they still upheld the one child law, so your baby was all you had for a child. Well at that time they were pushing for breaking that law for the entire country and I do believe it has been broken to where you can have at least two children. Again I think.

      I think it’s since been updated to a three child policy and parents are actively encouraged to have three kids, they’re that desperate to increase their population, but it’s not really working because of the large population deficit of women, the fact that you don’t unlearn years of propaganda immediately, and because having kids is expensive

    I have a 2010 Ford Mustang GT. Yes the airbags were recalled. Of course I did the driver's side first when the recall first came out. I just recently did the passenger side. Ford would send these pretty cool reminders to get it done. Well if dealerships would have the proper replacement parts made available (prior to supply chain crisis) at the time of the recall I would have done them both at the same time.

I never found out about the problem with the sleeper until after she outgrew it. Still makes me sick when I think about all the time she spent in it as a newborn. My Explorer had the Firestone tires that were recalled and all I had to do was take it the the Ford place where they were replaced for free.

The overwhelming majority of recalled products don’t, and it’s because they’re the $1 bin items. Believe it or not, it’s the most profitable area for ALL stores, and the high volume sold and constant overturn make recalls impossible. They’re the cheapest of the cheaply made foreign products sold only for profit. Walk on by.
