Safer Products?
Gas tanks on cars that don't explode at low impact;
SUVs that don't flip over when they get a flat;
Drugs for the flu that don't kill you;
Toys that kids won't chok on;
cribs that won't strange kids;
and wheels that will stay on your bike but take 5 seconds extra to remove.
Damn those lawyers!
