People can fail to realize the left pedal is reverse threaded, and that will still never cause their pedal to fall off. It just makes them unable to remove the pedal without asking someone. That isn't a safety concern.
Crank arms don't crack at pedal holes. If they tended to there would pictures of such occurrences.

No one is buying what you are selling.
