Worst Product Recalls To Destroy Your Faith In Humanity

Lots of products sold aren't fit for purpose and need to be recalled. Here are ten of some of the most noteworthy product recalls.

Legal Stuff.

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

The Tylenol extra strength technically did relieve the pain, just not in a convenient way

Imagine all at the same time driving a Ford, with faulty firestone tires, and talking on a Samsung galaxy 7

The Tylenol one was not the fault of poor manufacturing so its better than most of these... But its good we have tamper proof packaging now days because of it

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

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.

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.
