Agree. The linked FDA recall said the 7 deaths are "associated", which could just mean contemporaneous. This article is written by a new diabetic who doesn't seem to understand the disease very well yet, and is sensationalist in its reporting (perhaps unintentionally). They are probably opening themselves up to a defamation lawsuit here and are certainly disseminating misinformation, sowing FUD in service of an agenda, however well intentioned.

I rarely do this, but I'm flagging the article in hopes of limiting its exposure to new readers.

The OP is hardly anywhere near as sensational as the latest AI generated github something-or-another typically posted here. I found the article extremely useful and would not be aware that it effected MORE THAN ONE product line. Please don't let @dang bury this IMO. If you have an alternative URL please post it!
He's not intentionally sensationalist, he's just flat out wrong. An uninformed piece like this does not belong here IMO without heavy context provided front and center.
