2. This would have never have happened in China
Those responsible at the top of these companies would be fired then tried in a court of law. In Japan, CEO's that oversaw this gross negligence of their company would often, out of shame, commit suicide.

3. God damn Chinese.
Wait, this happened in America?

I guess I won't use it as a broad brush attack then against American products. Or claim that American parents don't love their children.

4. Like they'd ever be liable for criminal prosecution
This is the United States, fer crissakes! Captains of industry who cause untold death, waste, and illness don't get prosecuted for their crimes, they get subsidies, fat pensions and golden parachutes, just the way Free Market Jesus intended.
