A place to post product recalls. Recalls can be national or local, even just one store down the street. Nor are they limited to one country, if a product is declared unsafe by the government or the maker, share it here.
Title should reflect what's being recalled, body should say where and/or have a link to the announcement.

So, the parents thought it magically came pre-programmed with their fingerprints from the factory and went; "hey, it works out of the box, how neat is that?!"
I'm sure they could've/should've taken higher quality idiots into account when making the thing, but is it really too much to ask of parents to read a manual and verify that a lock works as it should, when it is to keep firearms out of reach from your children?
I mean, yes? It’s insane to think that a fingerprint reader is designed, by default, to open from any fingerprint.
I don’t think it’s a stretch to believe that if you put your finger on a lock and it unlocks that you might believe it also programmed itself to use only that fingerprint.
Sorry, but this is a really stupid thing to say. A fingerprint scanner shouldn't work unless a fingerprint has explicitly been set up.
