| >I'm doubtful that a Kaiser spokesman would fabricate these problems I'd also be surprised if what was said didn't turn out to be technically true, but that's not really the point, which is to spread FUD. Raising vague, out-of-context allegations is a time honoured mudslinging technique and I hate to see it accepted without question. > “significant supply issues” on Retractable’s end Out of context this is meaningless. What is a significant supply issue? It could be anything and everything, including this guy not liking the colour of the packaging or any other triviality. It sounds odd to me that a company with $42MM in funding and desperately trying to move its products for over a decade would have anything other than a gross oversupply. > prone to malfunction and that, in several cases, needles detached and were left “stuck in the arms of patients.” This statement would be technically true even if the product in question was less prone to malfunction and needle breakage than the incumbent product! Without any sort of context, however, it is at best ambiguous and at worst quite possibly deceptive. It's very possible to deceive and mislead without ever actually telling a lie. |
