  What's not emotional about requiring products you have no hand in to meet your standards of innovation?

    What... what is emotional about that? Saying a product is trying to fill a need which has already been filled is the least emotional reason I can think of to not purchase something.

How about the company itself taking their product out of the market because it's making people sick?
