Also, was there a budget constraint like "we do not want these to cost us more than $100 for a set of 4 (regardless of what they marked them up for and sold to their client base)? Finally, if it is one or the other, which company should be eating the costs for the recall and proper replacement items being shipped? Again the blame lies in just who spec'd, designed, or engineered the defective items in question, not necessarily the actual manufacturer.
