Exactly. Some business people think it is sufficient for consumers to trust businesses with their questionable (or even dangerous) product or service. Then when people are hurt or killed by these questionable (or dangerous) products or services, businesses blame the consumer and claim no responsibility.
Be informed. When a company makes a defective product, refuse to purchase ANYTHING they make until the issue is settled to your satisfaction. The only thing that matters to business is $$$. Don’t give them any until they give you a decent product.
The term is “externalities” — the unintended effects of the markets that are not corrected for in the markets. Governments thus need to regulate businesses to correct for externalities.
I’ve got news for you, Barney. Earlier this week in New City’s Grand Central Terminal. A wine store clerk had his E-cigarette blow up in his pants leg severely burning his right hand and legs! And that’s why we need REGULATIONS from crooked businessmen. PS I like this strip!

Consumers should trust themselves first, and use sound judgement when making purchases.
