I have thought about this quite a bit from a business standpoint. Legally I can see the worry, although big picture its a mistake. It simply takes one incident to take this company down.. and reputation (at least in my opinion) is already in question. Acknowledging the issue/mistake, sending everyone heat tape assemblies to correct, seems to me to not only make legal sense, but longevity sense in the business. In fact I personally would have not been too upset if I knew it was being dealt with fairly.
The fact the business owner refuses to address the issue, putting many people at risk, is my drive for making this known.
