    This is genuinely huge and is negligent homicide at the very least. We need multinational lawsuits to deal with multinational crimes like this.

    Knowingly using a material that degrades with heat and humidity and can cause cancer in the manufacture of a heating humidifying healthcare device, and then ignoring all reports for years is diabolical stuff.

      It’s worse than that. My buddy had one and on a fixed income, had to scrabble and scrimp to pay for a replacement. I just sent him the article and said I hope he sues them.
