Product Recall Notices: Friend or Foe?

Danny Tyree on Feb 24, 2021

I’m not Mr. Perfect. I realize sometimes Stuff Happens. (Or DOESN’T happen, if you’re talking about the recalled batch of Ex-Lax.)

I should be glad that manufacturers own up to their mistakes at all, but it would be immeasurably better if they could learn from Billy Joel lyrics. I mean “I’ve gotta get it right the first time/That’s the main thing, oohh oohh…” - not “We didn’t start the fire; I think it was the fuzzy dice!”

Can’t we go back to the days of the Quality Control department assessing the quality of the products coming off the assembly line instead of the quality of the paint job on the “Department of Woke Resources” sign?

Ah, enough venting. I want to research if Paul Bunyan ever answered the recall notice on that wobbly axe head.

Look out!

AAIIEE!
