My father is retired from Firestone, when he was there he tested the new batches of rubber to be used on the tire making line. Crews would wait for the ok to use that batch, if he called a batch a failure the crews would be extremely angry with him and tried to get him to ok bad rubber. The inspectors who wouldn't allow bad batches through were given unflattering nicknames and were mistreated by employees

Memories. I had a set of those Firestone 721 tires. Had one explode on the interstate while in a hard curve in the road. I also had a problem with Ford throttle cables. in 1974 I was 19. The throttle cable on my 1966 custom broke. The replacement was different. They had replaced the crimped on dust shield with what looked like a plastic soda straw. It was on the eye that connected to the carburetor. When you let off the throttle, The eye would hit the straw and cock a bit on an angle. after a while, this would cause the cable to break, usually at full throttle. I got ripped a new one by a Ford engineer for being a "smart ass punk kid". A while later and a few death because of it, the cable was recalled. And don't forget about Aquadots. it was a kid's toy. It turned into GHB, the "Date Rape Drug" when ingested.

The Tylenol case wasn't their fault: That was the result of somebody who decided to commit mass murder.

What you are saying is, basically, that Dodge is just as bad as Ford.

Crown Vics had a similar problem, and they had a long, ongoing problem with sudden unintended acceleration, which was a problem with the cruise control. Yes, many other car companies have serious issues, like the Corvair, but Ford has a crappy reputation when it comes to safety. All companies in general are willing to let people die for a profit. But the pinto was ridiculous. So, yes, he went after Ford. The reason he did do so in the first place was because it was one of the most documented recalls in history.

The Ford/Firestone tire issue was both parties fault. Before the recall the recommended air pressure per Ford according to the Explorer door placard was 26psi. That was far too low for the vehicle to start with, and if memory serves Firestone told Ford that fact, but Ford bullied them into green lighting that air pressure because the Explorer had shitty ride quality. Couple already low air pressure with people being lazy and not checking their tire pressure, you had Explorers driving in southwestern states in the middle of summer with 15-20psi. Tires are vulcanized together with heat and in turn can separate from excessive heat. The lower the air pressure the higher the rolling resistance, which means higher operating temperature. After the recalls/lawsuits, Ford changed the recommended air pressure on the door placard for the Explorer to 33 psi front, 35 psi rear. Sorry, just I’ve just worked a long time in the automotive and tire field. It drives me nuts when people only blame Firestone for the incident. There’s people that to this day will not buy Firestone or Bridgestone because of this, yet they continue to buy Fords.

As a result the tires were defective.

Actually the ford/firestone fiasco was mainly the fault of ford. When people complained to ford about the tipping/top heavy they were actually INSTRUCTED by ford employees to let some air out of the tires. And with the high velocity spinning of the tires on freeway with under inflated tires it was an explosion waiting to happen. Unfortunately its been 10 yrs since i remember the actual chemistry makeup of what happens that makes the tires explode due to under inflation but yeah. Ford was at fault and tried to put the blame on firestone so that they could avoid the heat. And that's why it was top heavy argument vs under inflate argument.

FYI Bridgestone wasn't formerly Firestone. Firestone was bought by Bridgestone back in 1988.

I still have my blue Tommee Tippee cup with little bear painted on it's side from my infancy in the late 1950's. Vintage ones are quite collectable and many can be found offered for sale on Ebay. In my early teens I rediscovered my cup and noticed that with it's rounded bottom what kept them upright was a huge slug of lead between the cup's plastic bottom and it's interior plastic lining.

I work for a major hospital, talk about recalls, how about having your Ventricular Assist Device, VAD, fail or be recalled? Leads, batteries, the device itself, all can fail. Here is one example: Medtronic said there is a possibility for an interruption to occur in the electrical connection between the system’s power source (battery, AC adapter, or DC adapter) and the HVAD controller. This interruption to the electrical connection, which occurs when the power source is still physically connected, is caused by oxidation on the connecting surfaces between the power source connector and the controller’s power source socket. The interruptions to the electrical connection could cause unintended intermittent electrical disconnection, which could result in a pump stop. A pump stop could cause patient harm such as exacerbation of heart failure symptoms, or symptoms such as mild weakness, dizziness, anxiety, nausea, loss of consciousness, or death.

Actually, the Tylenol tampered with was believed to have been from several different outlets. They did have one good suspect, someone who confessed and asked for a ransom to make the killings stopped. Nothing was ever proven though. If you're not from the Chicago area then you wouldn't know, but looking at the locations of the victims you could see they didn't buy these pills from the same store. Chicago is a big city with a lot of drug stores. It was spread out very wide. This was most likely done in a warehouse. I read a book about this case several years ago.

That's James William Lewis. He went to jail for attempting to extort money from Johnson&Johnson. He claimed that the poisoning would stop if they paid him some millions of dollars. The problem is that they had evidence for the extortion but not for the poisoning so they could only charge him for what they had evidence for. How he worded his extortion is what got him out of poisoning crimes. There are people that believe he is responsible but because they didn't have the evidence for it, they couldn't try him for it.

Johnson & Johnson came up with the triple seal package. 1) Seal the box so that it has to be torn to open it, 2) Apply shrink-wrap around the top of the bottle, 3) place a seal over the und the cap. The FDA may have later mandated it, but it was Johnson & Johnson's idea. Johnson & Johnson went all out to totally accept responsibility. Never blamed anyone else. Never tried to get out of it. Was totally upfront during the entire ordeal. They are in business school textbooks as an example of how to handle such a catastrophe.

I remember the tommy tippers. I was MUSCs smallest baby on record, died almost ten times by the time I was three, my mom was so beyond angry and scared about the tommy tippers that she threw away every single plastic cup and toy we owned. From then on we had mainly wooden toys and were allowed to play video games. I remember my dad cut open one of my rubber bath toys and it smelt so disgusting that he threw up, he showed me why they were doing this and the toy was almost 90% covered in mold in the interior. It was truly vile!

The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge also had known battery issues. The battery would overheat and swell, separating the case. Mine did it. I switched to the Galaxy S8+ for my primary, and a Huawei Y7 for my backup. No problems with them.

Let's line our pockets at any cost. Profits over people.

In China, all the companies belong to the government. The "executives" are under huge pressures to make profits and their bosses often look the other way.

After all, what are the deaths of a few babies in a nation with billions of people?

I loved my Ford Pinto. I got a apple red, standard. My first car. Brand new. It was so great on gas, and so much fun to drive. When I gave it back to Ford after the recall I guess I should have been glad I hadn’t gone up in a fiery crash turning into a teenage crisp but I missed that damn car.

Although sometimes I think that the images shown the irresponsible Ness of some parents.. like your kid is going to lose one and months later that other one was finally found behind their toy box and it was simply unwashed.. then people do wash them and put them together completely wet... Therefore trapping in moisture... I'm not perfect and I certainly have done that before... But at the same instance there are instructions for safety that come with the cups and they explicitly say to dry each piece completely before assembling... Makes me wonder if it's just the fault of the parent and not the fault of the company due to improper hygiene techniques...🤔
