    I think that such practices should be prohibited, as is done with any other product that endangers the safety of the person. What will be next, if these practices are allowed? Companies have never had a problem claiming back fees from you, without resorting to such miserable practices.

      I agree, but I dont believe legislation and regulation has caught up to techniques/product evolutions such as this and feel it might take awhile for people to take notice.

        Although it is true that the law is made by old men who confuse the remote control with a mobile phone, this is not a technical issue, but a commercial abuse that puts people at risk and against this there are already laws since a long time. A company can’t put measures in place that can endanger the health of consumers, as well as they will not be able to sell a car where the airbag does not work or the seat belts cannot be used, even if the user has not paid their bills. I don’t think these people will be able to market this vest under these criminal conditions, at least not in the EC

        The laws are there- this company is clearly engaged in criminal negligence and extortion. It’s enforcement that needs to “catch up”. For that to happen, some adjustment of enforcement agencied is necessary. Some lawsuits and court orders might help with this process. This company deserves to notexist. No one should buy anything from them unless to have standing to sue them.
