you have to remember that lock companies aren't really like car companies. they aren't sending out massive amounts of mail any time there's a problem with one of their products. if it weren't for the internet, i wouldn't have had any idea about the whole bic pen dealie.
i don't know about that. the kryptonite debacle seemed to blow up pretty big.
