Presumably, no one would
make a thing that can hurt oth-
ers through defectiveness. But
plenty of bad products do. The
U.S. Public Health Service re-
ports that faulty heating devices
cause 125,000 injuries a year;
stoves, power mowers and
washing machines, 100,000, and
electrical extension cords,

are the result.
