I wasn't picking on Specialized as an inferior product, at all, simply as one of the largest suppliers of carbon bikes. Though I think everyone here has to admit that there are unsafe carbon composite bikes and components coming from China. (gotta wonder if people sue ebay over crap wheels)
But Specialized is a perfect target for litigation and these bikes will eventually wear out.
The first thing that happens when a private plane crashes is the manufacturer of the plane gets sued, regardless of the age of the plane, pilot error, etc., and he will have to defend himself. Why? He has pockets. For an insurance company, it's the size of the exposure and rolling the dice (right and wrong is not at issue) - if the size of the loss goes into reinsurance, litigation is automatic. If enough bikes break and people get injured, insurance companies will organize the class action suit.

Bicycles will never have an organization like the FAA certifying their suitability for service, and no local bike shop will ever be able to invest in the technology and talent required to certify them.
Our society is long-past believing there is inherent risk in life.
