I guess we need to ask: compared to what? They sold ~5mil units, and recall may affect 500k still in use. So that's a hit of 10% of the revenue from these drier

If they had 10% profit margin on these driers, that would wipe out that. That's probaly all.
That vs. more people dying.
- mikepurvis 7y agoI completely agree with you, but it's fascinating to compare the attitude here vs. how people respond when simple, proven life-saving measures are proposed for roadways, for example even things as basic as leading pedestrian signals, pedestrian scrambles, road diets, smaller turn radiuses, banning RTOR, etc. With even the hint of someone in a car being inconvenienced, a cry goes up and the whole thing is dead in the water. Meanwhile close to 20 pedestrians are killed in the US every single day. We call these collisions "accidents", and throw up our hands about them because how can you prevent an act of god, right?
