These are the biggest business blunders to come from the retail side of things. Product recalls can be bad for business, causing bankruptcy, business failure and a serious loss of profits, they are often called for by US government agencies such as the FDA, who order food recalls. Sometimes there are auto recalls from car manufacturers.

The Tylenol poisoning case doesn't fit the premise of "face palm" recall. the product was tampered with by a criminal and the company acted quickly and responsibly.
Agreed.
Agreed, on the other side, Tylenol has killed tons of people who take it presuming it to be safe.
Yeah, but very often those cases are due to improper use of the medication and/or failure to observe the warnings.
Sarad Thamia
Well, that's also true,, but also warnings were made more prominent and has killed fucktons of people.
Different than say, warning labels on cigarettes.
Many warning labels are also BS - some aren't. Something completely safe to just eat 50 bottles of often has the same warnings. Acetaminophen ones are certainly real. :p
It's killed a bunch of fucknuts because there are more stupid people in the world than intelligent ones.
Kroger had to recall all of its peanut butter a couple of years ago because the label didn't have an allergy warning about containing peanuts.
THAT's a facepalm. It makes you wonder how some consumers breathe unassisted.
They are not breathing after those peanuts….
It's literally on the label.
well to say
beter play safe then land in the hospital
Weaklings should die!
My favorite is the warning label on jeans about getting your penis stuck in it.
That one may not have been real.... funny though & not entirely implausible these days lol
If your child is young enough to not understand that sticking their fingers in an oven will cause painful burns, they shouldn't be playing with an oven. If nothing else, they should at least be supervised. And I know someone is gonna say you can't watch your kids 24/7, but if youre too busy at the moment to watch the kid playing with the oven, there is a very simple solution. Just don't let them play with the oven.
Poems of an invisible soul then these companies shouldn't be falsely advertising these dangerous toys with unsupervised children as if it were safe enough to not require adult supervision.
and yet in the instructions, which no one reads, it clearly states adult supervision is required
Ok mom
I had an easy bake oven when I was about 7 or 8. I knew not to stick my fingers inside the damned thing. Plus, my mom made it extremely clear that if I did something other than it’s intended use, it would’ve been my ass. That would have been worse than a burn.
Never understood this. I had one and I recent got one for my daughter. It’s written multiple times that adult supervision is required. Hell, when you read the directions on mines the steps even said have your parent put the item in the oven/take the item out
some of these product fails are just the result of bad parenting or irresponsible behavior
Based on your pfp, you must know all about that.
Or Toads...
Because not checking your baby for a pulse every 20 seconds while you are carrying them is bad parenting. Also, what parent thinks about kids using blinds as a noose?
Only someone that has never had to take responsibility for a pet or child would think stuff like that is a parent's fault. Nobody can monitor a child 24/7, nor should they. If you want your child to feel like an imprisoned lab rat, go ahead and never allow them a nanosecond of privacy. 10-year-old needs to go to the bathroom? Not without mommy there to make sure they don't slip and drown in the toilet bowl.
encycl07pedia I have 2 young children and I think of everything with loose wire or string as a possible noose, so should every parent, I wouldn't have had them in my home or I'd adjust them in others houses. This was a horrible thing to say blaming the parents, but it's not fully wrong, if they had been more cautious with things they should have been cautious with in the first place things could have been different, but again, these people have lost their children and they will 100% already be blaming themselves, they don't need ransoms on TH-cam reminding them. The sling is a bit of a touchy one for me because I think it's irresponsible to use a sling where the baby is scrunched and not visible. That could have been avoided with basic common sense, I don't condone that but there are legal slings where views are constricted so that's a personal peeve to me.
Dummy Mummy The first sentence of my previous comment was sarcasm. I'm not blaming the parents. Did you honestly think I believed parents should check their kids every 20 seconds for a pulse?
Most people don't think of blinds as strings. They think of blinds as blinds that block out sunlight.
Congratulations on being afraid of everything. I'm sure your bubble kids will have a fun time growing up in an incubator and having no privacy. (
The recall for Tylenol cannot be overstated. When it happened Chicago PD said that it was local and a national recall was not needed. Johnson & Johnson said, "No, we have a commitment to our customers and the community, everything goes." Their shareholders freaked at the cost. J&J replied, "Eat shit." Not only did their actions and safety measures quickly become a national standard customers saw what the company were doing and would buy Tylenol en mass when it was back on shelves.
But then comes the whole Baby Powder thing....
The Tylenol recall was done after the Seattle incident, not the Chicago one.
I don't think you know what "overstated" means.
@@sakuraogami6885 Are you aware of the real reason behind the 'baby powder thing'?

When the Salmonella Outbreak occurred my younger brother kept saying there were salamanders in the peanut factory
Chaotic Reaper0 that’s adorable I hope he knows what salmonella is now unless he was joking
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s messed up in a funny way XD
@@howtowithelizabeth7513 why was I never notified of your response until now?! Also yes he was young when he said that, he knows what it is now lol
With how filthy the plant was, it honestly wouldn't shock me if it *did* have salamanders crawling around
Um....for the Easy Bake oven....why were young children using it without supervision?
ikr
Yes!!!
If your kid is too stupid to not cook their fingers...
It used to be that you could leave grade school aged children alone and let them play by themselves. Now, we are expected to watch our children 24/7 until they are 18 and then we are shocked when they make bad decisions.
Is that supposed to mean anything?
I had an easy bake oven when I was 5 in 1969. I loved it and never got burned because you read and followed the instructions!!
...What a concept!
You are not 5 years old now
Let me shit on you of course dumb dumb
I had one in 95. I wasn't dumb enough to stick my hand in.
Can you imagine if kids today had the wood burning kits like we had back in the 70's , you know the one with cord that was like 3ft long so you were almost guaranteed to be sitting next the window curtains or the living room carpet lol
I don't know how it's in the US, but where I live, if you put your hands in a something hot twice, you're unable to learn from you own errors and that makes you an idiot.
Are you saying kids should live alone because they're smart? yep you're the idiot one ..
Where did I say that kids should live alone?
I was about 3 or 4 when I first stick a nail into an electric socket, got shocked and didn't do that again, ever. Same thing with hot oven, I touched it once and from then on out I knew it was hot and hot things hurt. I don't know, I'm different apparently.
+Eddek, it seems like parents have no concept of personal responsibility anymore. If their kid does something, like burn themselves, they just have to blame somebody. It can't possibly be their "special little snowflakes" fault. It has gotten so ridiculous it is unbelievable.
What I think they don't understand is that they are harming their kids a lot more than they are helping them. Like you mentioned, we as kids, would learn by doing these things, and making these mistakes. If the kid thinks that every mistake, or trial and error action that fails, is someone else's fault, they are going to grow up very screwed up.
they're literally little kids???? They'll eat mud twice even if it tasted bad the first time give em a break.
Well I understand because she's so young, but it was stupid on her parents part. If the child had stuck her fingers inside, I would either:
1. Take the oven away and wait until she's older and more responsible
2. Watch the child while she's using the oven
The father obviously scolded her and that it. If he had done of those things the kid could've avoided shoving her fingers in the oven
"You remember putting your hand in there? Why are you putting it in again?" WHY DO STILL LET HER?????,
Why the fuck didn't he take it away after the first time. Textbook bad parenting there.
It WAS unplugged, in the video. So my guess is, the father was trying to teach her how to use it properly, but without the danger of getting burned. Cuz it was unplugged, you see. People love to jump on parents shit, and half the time they get the facts wrong.
75 percent seems like corporate greed and the other 25 percent seem like lapses in common sense
No Truer Words have been said!!!
"Let's give our kid an oven hot enough to bake food and then let them play with it unsupervised!"
Says more about the parents, really.
It's strange how people tend to blame companies for bad parenting...
Mica Crestana People also dont read instructions to tell you how to use certain products appropriately. As a parent, i would hope people are being taught that a baby less than one year can easily have their airway obstructed. Anything covering their face or causing their neck to bend too far forward is a breathing hazard. Why do you think car seats are faced backwards? I would never have put my child in that baby sling because it looks like it would push their head too far forward. God people are dumb
@@romantic_hippie ~ I would have never used a sling anyway. The whole idea looks uncomfortable, and bad positioning for the baby to be in. Regardless of what company made it...
It is strange how many companies blame bad parenting for lack of forethought care on the companies part.
@Definitely a George Soros funded bot How is it being a corporate apologist to say that it's your own fucking fault if you let your 4 year old play with an Easy Bake Oven unattented and they get hurt? That isn't on the company, that's on the parent for being stupid enough to think their kid who is barely out of diapers isn't going to get hurt on something hot.
My mum had tons of IKEA furniture when I was a baby and through my childhood. She didn't need a major safety warning to know to secure furniture to walls and to actually be a parent and taught me to not climb on the furniture.
Tylenol laced with cyanide, oh dear, that was scary. I vividly remember that back in the 1980s, and the panic... and that's why they switched to caplets. I had an easy bake oven as a kid... no problems, loved it.
I remember it quite well myself. Indeed it was scary!
Caplets is worse. People can open them, put shit it, then put them back together
Bruh that was 1971 to 1988
I had an Easy Bake oven when I was a kid and never got my fingers stuck in it. Mine came with a wand that helped you put stuff in and take them out. I was 8 and common sense kept me from putting my fingers in it.
It's because parents are stupid and let kids that are far too young use them! Sadly not all parents care about their kids, this is why kids hurt themselves a lot of the time!
They referred to a specific model in 2007. And most adults stick their arms into ovens to put in or take out food. Does that mean adults are stupid?
@@encycl07pedia- it's a bit different, you can't compare kids and adults, there's a reason you don't let kids use an oven, any responsible parent would be there to supervise a child using one of these, weather it's a specific model or not!
@@encycl07pedia- Yes.
@@encycl07pedia- was that this one: images.app.goo.gl/vV4imWHWzHAj5LSH6 ? if so, i actually still have mine from then, and never had any problems with it...
You forgot all those Dell and Apple Laptop batteries made by Sony that caused the laptops to catch on fire.
Sony is run by Toads and your complaint is enough to prove it!

My favorite part of the easy-bake ovens is the advertising, where all the little girls are baking stuff but not eating it. I like to think this alone doomed the product, but too many examples from current advertising make that unlikely.
That's because they were feeding it to the little boys.
Did you not see the stereotypical chubby boy?
Why do I get the feeling that this is inspired by the Note 7 recall.
most probably........you know viewers could suggest and vote what they want to watch....
because android sucks
Android is awesome. iPhone and windows phone are both sh*t
Technically Samsung products came before Apple products. Apple is just ripping off Samsung products.
android has nothing to do with a phone exploding
don't feel like watching but wondering if Blue Bell ice cream is included. that was a dark time for us in the south haha
Tell me more
oh. wait. my comment to the video became a reply to this. Sorry, hold on .w.
(EDIT: finally removed )
Also, its true about blue bell. :/ they made amazing chocolate chip ice cream
I was wondering if they were gonna talk about it too!! but they didn't, so thanks a lot Watchmojo
the recall happened today this video was prob recorded during the week and not today so it wouldnt be put in the list
but the recall on Blue bell was like months ago. maybe even last year?? i don't remember. i just know that it was recent, but not super recent.
Regarding China's response to the infant formula contamination, even though I'm kind of conflicted about the death penalty, I have to give the Chinese government kudos for holding people accountable for incidents like that.
retnavybrat They put melamine in pet food, too; another huge recall. (How many parents bothered to tell their kids not to eat pet food after that, we'll never know.)
"The explorer is built for any kind of adventure!"
To the hospital.
I remember having an easy bake oven when I was a kid. I also remember all the "food" I made tasting like dirt.
Holy shit. I used to have that exact same baby sling. My daughter's grandmother bought it for me at a second hand store. I think I only put my daughter in it once because I didn't like how it folded over her face. I had no idea children had actually died from them.
Good parent...
Your daughter grandma is your mom?
She probably means the child's father's mom....
@@woozworldvideoreviewwithju9939 not her man the baby's daddy's mam maybe
No mention of the so-called "hoverboards"? Not even an honourable one? There was multiple cases of the batteries exploding causing fire and other injury hazards causing a recall.

Who remembers the McDonald's Shrek glasses recall in 2010?
What was that about?
the paint on the collectible glasses contained cadmium
They said you could keep them if you don't drink from them
Or the Hannah Montana trading cards a few years ago?
Sarad Thamia why were cards recalled?
Actually the Easy Bake Oven was part of the Suzie Homemaker series of toys resembling housewares. (the oven was the only surviving toy in modern times)
My mother brought both the oven and vacuum cleaner. I remember 'helping' my mother cleaning the rug. As for the oven my mother was always in the kitchen when I used it. I loved the mini coconut cakes I'd made.
I think anything called a baby sling is not a good thingn
You can throw babies much further using a sling than you can by hand.
I'll take 20. I have A LOT of babies that need slinging.
Indrought yeah good point
I would have never used anything like that...
I have to point out that the Easy Bake Ovens were put on the market before the 80s but didn't have these issues until after the 90s. All I can say is that when my friends and I were kids, no one had to tell us things like, you shouldn't set yourself on fire. That used to fall under the category of "common sense". It has become "uncommon sense". Now setting yourself on fire (or the other various Darwinian pass times) falls under the ridiculous category of "Yolo".
HaHa. Yolo=You only live once, so you only die once.
Sometimes, it's a damn shame we're so good at keeping stupid kids alive.
wherethetatosat LMAO, no kidding.
The 70s version (idk if it was an easy bake) was a small metal oven. My mom let me make cookies and cakes with it as a kid since it was her's back then.
Snowflakes raised snowflakes who are now raising cupcake fairies. Every generation gets more pussafied

People putting their fingers in the hot oven? That's Darwinism. Hell sell more!
Evil and I love it :) I owned an Easy Bake when I was seven, but I don't think it came with the bulb at the time. My mom is the "I'll get it later" kind, AKA, she's going to forget unless you hound her to death about something. I never got the bulb so in turn, I just ate the powder for the food. However, I'd like to think that even if I had, I wouldn't have burned myself considering I was already able to cook simple things (and without supervision) at that age.
Sounds evil and cruel, but we need less kids / retards on earth. Just look at where we are today.
Damn some master class edgy science there, except none of those kids died so they're genes are still in the pool. In fact, the recall was the only case of Darwinism, as the '06 Easy Bake oven model was selected out of the market due to shit design and injuring its costumers.
No, it's not. At worst, burning one's fingers produces a crippled hand. They are still able to spread their stupid genes.
what a dark way to disprove creationism.
my car was one of the recalls for the air bag. im glad i got it replaced 😣
Also WHO PUTS THEIR CHILDREN NEAR BLINDS! Theres strings of course its a problem!
Doesn't take a genius to be a parent.
***** obviously. Its just stupid when they act like it was an impossible thing for children to do.
That one bugs me too. You hate to pick on a parent who even came close to losing a kid to that, but if that interview was from 2009, then I'd like to know how she could have had no idea that the kid could get hurt by a loose cord. I knew that back in 1997 because that information was readily available to people who were making the effort to learn about childproofing their home.
Also they have a big orange sticker on all blinds saying "keep out of reach frm children" 😂😂😂
There's warning tags on them too.
Great video. The section about Chinese baby milk partially explains a relatively recent saga; where individuals with relatives or contacts in China would buy Australian baby formula and ship the product to China. Many supermarkets were sold out. It was quite a time in the past and it was partially fuelled by social media. Your video helped me to understand.

I had an Easy-Bake when I was little, and the thing I was most proud of making was a cookie that had a design of an LPS turtle since I was collecting LPS toys at the time.
I have one of the Keurig brewers that was recalled. They had customers register online for a repair kit. Good thing too...those things were expensive to begin with.
I've had tons of versions of easy bake over the years and I've never once burned myself
Watch mojo changed my life for the better!
I remember the Thomas wooden toys recall as I was only a young child at the time and had tons of the wooden toys. Apparently it was primarily red paint that contained lead on the toys.
"Its not a car; it's a Volkswagon". Well! Glad they're finally 'fessin' up 'bout that! 🤣🤣
It does seem ironic that products that kill 3 toddlers are panned as dangerous and are recalled, but we can't manage to get improved safety features, and there is no sign of recall, on firearms that kill nearly 1300 children a year.
Because there is a difference. Although with most of the products that hurt children here like with guns it is typically horrible parenting. How many of those kids are killed because their parents are too stubborn to secure their guns?
The airbag one actually helped me!!! I checked my car and it turns out i had the defective airbag! We took it to a ford shop and they helped us get the airbags changed. About two months later i was in a terrible accident that totaled the car and my knee. The new airbag worked perfectly!

"Top Secret!" 1984 Val Kilmer
Classic. Watched it so many times as a child... Watch it... Ir's damn funny. Cow part always get's me.
I love how it zooms in and shows that it was a Pinto.
Da Dragon Durp As if the shape alone wasn't a dead giveaway... LOL
I still have my easy bake oven like the one at 1:40. I didn't even remember until I saw it
I remember seeing several Pintos in moderate speed rear-end collisions. In almost every case, the fuel tank ruptured, but none I saw resulted in fire. I also saw a Mercury Montego rear-ended and the fuel filler pipe pulled out of the tank, resulting in a fuel spill. Notice no mention of the '73-'84 Chevy/GMC pick-ups with the "side-saddle" tanks outside the frame rails, which were highly vulnerable in broadside collisions. Not sure how many injuries resulted, but the videos were graphic. And don't forget all those Firestone 500 radial tires in the seventies. I believe the first auto recall was by Studebaker in the nineteen-teens, not safety-related, but the new three-speed transmissions were not as durable as the two-speed units they replaced. As soon as Studebaker engineers became aware of the problem, the company recalled every three-speed car voluntarily, and made things right for the customers.
Note 7...
Don't get the fandroids after you
I am not defending the Note 7 here, but this isnt the first time a phone have exploded, why the big cirlejerk about the Note 7?
Because it's been multiple phones
It's because it's a new product and how fast samsung responded. Some complaint they are not fast enough and they have not done enough. Lithium batteries exploding is a known possible hazard. Sony had them Apple got them but in both cases it took them longer to react and some doesn't officially acknowledge it.
What about the iPhone 7 for being shit!!!😂
Wasn't Johnson and Johnson pegged this year for carcinogen in its baby shampoo or something too?
I got an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas when I was, like, ten...ish?
It was the blocky pink, black and white one they showed in the severely 90s commercial.
I never got burned, but I DO think I had a faulty one. It never cooked thoroughly enough and I would get frustrated and just cook in the kitchen with the actual oven.
And, once I got good.working with the kitchen oven, my Easy Bake just kinda became obsolete. I ended up giving the bulb from it to my Dad who needed that wattage in his workshop.
I got that Keurig about 4 years ago, filled out the form for the recall to get a replacement seal. It's been like 4 years and I still haven't gotten a replacement part. Apparently it's only an issue if you make more than 1 cup of coffee at a time.
That moment when you're early and don't have a joke to say
intellectual laziness
The peanut salmonella one was disgusting
In 2011 our apartment complex relaced the loop type stings (like one the Roman blinds)affer my son almost hung himself on the strings. He had massive rope burns around his neck and I never saw it happen. So even curtains with those loop type strings need to be taken care of!
6:47 So relevant...I got a recall notice for airbag inflator in my car. I took it in to a dealer to get it replaced. :)
Ford Twice! Don't buy a Ford unless you wanna flip over or burst into flames
Their newest models will flip over, deploy airbags to cut your face and then burst into flames. :D
^ A pretty damn awesome way to die i say :D
my 2000 for mustang has been working fine
I have owned pleanty of Ford's and never had a problem.
my mom's expedition and my stepdad 150 havent had any problems either
Either kids have gotten dumber or parents were less sensitive and would deal with things seeing it as a consequence of their kid's behaviour not the companies fault.
Could be both
It’s both
I still remember as a kid in 2008 about the peanut butter recall no pb sandwiches for months :(
That car explosions tho😂
Sienfield..................... NOSTALGA BOMMBBBBBBBB
🤣 i love how English people say Volkswagen 🤣
8:42 that 911 call clip broke my heart holy shit
The bad thing about the Ford Pintos exploding is that Ford knew they had a problem but refused to recall all the Pintos to fix them, because they knew it was cheaper to settle lawsuits than it was to recall all the cars. Eventually they were forced to recall them and install plastic liners in the fuel tanks which wouldn't rupture in a crash.
Props to this channel for using that scene from "Top Secret!" in the video.
The Tylenol Poisonings was to me is one of the worst.
Man some people blaming parents for the kids products being recalled
like yeah such shitty parents expecting a product made for children to be safe for their children...
Because a Mini-oven, designed to act as a 'miniature' oven is expected to be entirely safe? I think you're missing the point, while I don't deny that certainly a parent is expected to put degree of trust product has been created safe for a child to use, at the end of the day the Easy Bake case boils down to parental negligence. Again this is a miniature oven designed to function as an oven, is it not appropriate for a parent while baking in the kitchen with their child to warn them not touch the heating element of an oven, do the not still common sense to supervise them to make sure they are not hurt or burnt around the oven? Under the right advice, precautions and supervision a mini-oven can be just as safe as for a child to use as a regular kitchen oven and/or microwave oven.
AlyceJay The mini-oven yeah sure parents should keep an eye on the kids. But the comments are saying it about all the products. A faulty sling, crib, blinds, these are things a parent will never expect to harm their child, and it really gets on my nerves that people are making horrible judgements about the parents based on those incidents.
I dunno about the sling, though. Those always made me nervous. I would repeatedly make sure the baby's face wasn't covered. Maybe people think that's a lot of anxiety for nothing but when it comes to that I'd rather have some anxiety than the alternative.
Z BWorth well, there are a lot of times parents leave their kids unattended. there's a trend that shows that's when accidents happen the most, so.......what do you expect?
I was a little kid when the Pinto was out, but that damn creepy teddy bear gave me nightmares that I had forgotten all about until this video. Thanks, WatchMojo!
It’s at 5:41, for anyone else interested in vintage nightmare fuel.
Wait, they recalled the Thomas toys? I collected those for years when I was little... I still have some of the limited-edition and rare ones.....

$3,822 for a car? No wonder it was dangerous!

I had an easy bake oven. I can't remember if it was me or one of my younger sisters, but a cake got pushed too hard and spilled everywhere. It smoked first and that thing was gone before it could catch fire.
The (dis)honorable mentions:
Lost their train of thought
Cup of sorrow
Pedal to the metal
Fall into the gap
Blowing up my telephone
Face palming? I don't have palms I have hooves
The IKEA dresser thing at the end reminded me of how lucky my little sister is. When she was about 2 or 3, she was trying to get Goodnight Moon out of the one drawer and it tipped over but the top of it landed on her toddler bed and she was somehow caught in the little gap between the bed and the dresser. The one drawer hit her I think and she was really scared, but she's still lucky that the dresser didn't fall on her in whole.
I remember that exploding firestone tires were a running joke in older Whose Line is it Anyway episodes.
People are just.... stupid.
I was involved in the Tylenol recall. I was a truck driver who was hired to take a trailer full of recalled Tylenol products to a reclamation center. I had signed for a trailer load (sealed and locked) "Said to contain *approximately*
xxxxx number of various Tylenol products" When I got to the reclamation center , they made me wait ALL day (at a cost of hundreds of dollars) while they had 50 workers count each bottle and box of product. And of course their count did not agree with the *approximate* number on the bill of lading. Finally, the second shift manager arrived and stopped all the nonsense.
used to deal with product safety. Test purchase electrical device (fan, or something like that) - sent to a testing lab, shortest ever report:- "when plugged in and switched on the device caught fire. No further testing was possible"
It's good to see such failures!
That way we can learn from our mistakes!
I had an Easy Bake Oven when I was a kid. It was awesome.
Choked on the Roman style shades so many times as a kid
i still have my easy bake oven
and no way imma get rid of it.
Why is the last video clip for the tires the same as for the ford pinto stuff
we still have 4 Roman blinds first 3 are only in living room to cover large windows the other is in my brother's room at least they're older right?😕
My parents bought a ford with those tires from a dealer. Luckily we checked the tires. I still hated driving that thing cause every time I turned a corner I felt like the car was going to roll. I could feel the center point in the car and knew it was to low. I was so happy when we got a Fusion.
I had an Easy Bake oven with metal pans. My mom wouldn't let me use it unless she was there and the age limit started at 8 and older. My aunt had a pinto. I remember the Tylenol recall. And we got a 700.00 set of tires on our Explore after one blew. We had to bring a floor jack to put on the spare. When it blew it was bad. But we were lucky the SUV didn't roll.
Is it bad that I've used an easy bake oven and didn't get my finger caught, but managed to get it caught in the real oven door? -It wasn't on or hot, I had to check if there was a pan in it and my finger got caught in the door as I closed it-
I had that exact same purple easy bake oven...
I remember as a kid wanting a CSI kit but i never got it. But found out a few years ago it was recalled for containg asbestos. Lucky esacpe for me
the intro sound of WatchMojo always reminds me of the beginning of 'Infinity'.
Got an ad for Roman Blinds following the video. 🤣
I've seen several news articles addressing the Explorer/Firestone controversy, but I've never heard once them bring up the fact that Firestone isn't new to bad tires, apparently nobody seems to remember the removal from the market Firestone's 500 series Tires back in the day due to unexpected shredding.
