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.

More of a gun cabinet really. If the lock doesn't work is it really safe?
It's not that the lock doesn't work, it's that they never set it up.
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.
