    It’s weird they only stop selling them now, it’s been at least a year in France we know it kills people. I believe there is also a trial.

    Why would Phillips remove them in France but keep selling them in the usa ?

    Edit: my bad, it’s been 2 years we know it gives cancer.

        Greed and lack of empathy, not capitalism.

        But also they somehow thought they could get away with it in the usa when they declared themselves 2 years ago in France that the foam in their device gives cancer. I really can’t understand the logic, usa is the country of trial and lawyers, they knew they would get sued at some point.

          Greed and lack of empathy

          That’s what keeps capitalism humming along. It’s why a few people own most of everything and the “lucky” Americans will be forced to work until they die. What point were you trying to make when you attempted to correct them by saying that’s not capitalism?

        Be happy, you helped make some people at Phillip richer.

        In all seriousness, Phillip itself admitted the foam in their device can make headache, give toxicity and cancer. I’ve not been able to read the official declaration, only news report but if I was you I would check that because when the company itself admit it can give cancer, you know it’s bad.
