Grocery stores everywhere have the ability to pull recalled products off their shelves pretty quickly. I did it fairly regularly at my first job as a shelf-stocker for a small local store in rural MO. Somehow we made it work, so clearly someone figured out how to deal with that "bureaucratic nightmare". I see no reason why hardware products that are on a list due to known issues would be any different. |

An immediate sales stop and recall is certainly appropriate when food endangers people's health, I'm not sure it is the right decision in this case. You could give manufacturers some time to fix it, and only then stopping the sales. This way they would still be incentivised to quickly make a fix, but avoid the potentially huge economic downside, which will lead to higher barriers of entry and probably further consolidation, hurting consumers in a different way. Remember that regulation always benefits the incumbents.
