Both good points gents. Ed, you're in the trenches at a shop and would have a hell of a lot more direct knowledge than me on the subject. Any information I have on the subject is heresay, chatting with a couple guys on other forums claiming that they themselves went through it, reading other stuff......hell I don't know, maybe it was just a batch of them that weren't made right and the problem was limited.
Anywho, I've *b-worded about how sue happy people are in this country as well. It's fecking rediculous. It's one thing when a company royally drops the ball and their customers suffer for it or a company knowingly screws people over. But NOOOOO.....lawyers will chase ambulances, then dig and dig and dig to find a loophole to get around an idiot's personal responsibility, get paid, and don't give a crap if they take down a good company and destroy those jobs. The Blitz gas can company is a good example.
