If your product image goes for a sh*t and sales drop you'll lose more money than getting sued in many cases. Trust me, with bean counters running the companies today that kind of analysis has already been done.

[/Quote Thanks, for your insight into what I have said. Now I think your opinion of manufacturers being more worried about image than lawsuits is wrong. Ford just had alot of trouble with the tires on there vehicles being responsible for the death of over 80 people. Of course as you would expect they got sued and lost there @ss. BUT GUESS WHAT THEY STILL HAVE FIRESTONES ON THERE VEHICLES...."SO MUCH FOR CARING ABOUT IMAGE"
