By the way, can I borrow some catsup please?

By making it applicable to the entire output, they will recall all that exists so its really like recalling all buggywhips… there aren’t too many out there.

The real significance is that there is no need to set forth any particular defect, its the process that was found to be wrong and therefore the entire production is being recalled. That is actually a good message to send, even though its based on a judicial rather than statutorily created authority. Its equated to an inspector finding filth on every surface,,, he is allowed to stop the truck that just left the plant and condemn its cargo. Now they’ve extended it to not just filth but risky and inhumane procedures. Thats a good move actually. It may create inflated headlines but so would the recall of all 3 whips that remain of the 10,000 buggy whips.
