It hasn't come to all this. It's been there all along, ever since people started trying to sue manufacturers for their own misuse of the products. Read the warnings and disclaimers that come with a ladder sometime.
I stand firmly behind holding manufacturers responsible for poorly made or badly thought out products which cause injury and/or loss, but when someone sues because the extension ladder they set up on frozen cow manure slipped when the manure thawed out (true story) they get little sympathy from me.
The warnings/disclaimers save us from the cost added to a product from frivolous lawsuits.
Yes. Because people pay no mind to the amount of information and warnings that are out there. A handful of people ruin it for the entire group. So all the batteries that I usually deem safe, like my LG's, this will make it even more difficult for me to get good quality batteries that I know haven't been rewrapped, have bad specifications written on them, etc.
forces people to buy batteries that they're not sure about. And that can be dangerous in and of itself. Because of course stores that sell batteries aren't going to give accurate information either. How many times has somebody tried to sell me a basen battery? Because of the overrated specifications on it? Plenty.
I've made comments many many times in the past, and I say the same thing every time. Bad choices are just that, choices. if a person is too careless or too lazy to take into consideration the limitations of their battery or they just want to throw their batteries inside of their pocket with loose keys, change, and all of that, then why should the battery manufacturers be responsible for the careless behavior? Because when the battery manufacturers are being held accountable for somebody else's reckless behavior, eventually it forces people's hand to either give up electronic cigarettes or forces their hand to go and buy batteries from an untrusted source. And the big cause of that is because now the battery manufacturers want to CMA. If I need to clarify what CMA stands for, then there's a problem. and that can come with countless things they can stop selling loose batteries to distributors, they can limit which distributors get those batteries, or they can stop making those specific batteries all together.
So at the end of the day, yes, it's a shame that it's come to that. it's going to be more and more difficult to purchase batteries his time goes on. People are not going to know what they're getting, and that can have dangerous consequences. So in the midst of trying to mitigate risk we're actually causing more risk.
