Best Buy had a recall with their Insignia HDTVs and while it happened, people are still buying them. In fact, customers made out better because Best Buy increased the warranty to help people feel better about buying them. Everything has mistakes, and products fail. Amazon and other big retailers force manufacturers to do things better since their name is going on it. We still have a year before anything big comes out (by my guess) so by that time the liabilities will sharply decrease.

If Amazon puts their name on the product, that product becomes AMAZON..... If the manufacturer screws up and the product takes a dive in quality or has a bad consumer experience, long term, it ALL reflects on the AMAZON Brand.... I'll save Amazon millions for some mandatory business consultation..... Develope a brand other than Amazon on products with a potential quality liability...Amazon can still control the exclusive distribution and benefits of it being a great product, BUT, if a problem develops, it's direct effect on the Amazon brand will be minimal... Especially on electronics, don't take a chance on ruining the Amazon brand....the marginal gains incurred are NOT worth the high risk eMail me for my address, where you can send my fee. Don’t forget one thing….
