It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

The helmets don't protect children's heads in a crash, officials said.

It also means there are probably 7 other “brands” that need recalling because there’ they’re the same helmet.

Exactly. Probably many more than 7. And the fact that Amazon somehow doesn't carry any responsibility while profiting from the letter soup brands directly and indirectly is mind boggling.

Nah, that's late stage capitalism. If any regulatory body was on top of their shit, Amazon would be held accountable for selling potentially dangerous goods.
