It is only every time that there is a scare such as the e.coli scare with the Spanish cucumbers (which turned out not to be the source) in recent times that killed so many people in Germany, that one realises that so much of what you do, purchase and eat is all based on trust. In other words, you buy vegetables and you assume that they are not covered in e.coli and will kill you. When you buy those eye drops, you assume that they have not been tampered with, and that whichever experts that particular firm hires are constantly checking the product quality and making sure there is nothing in the eye drops which will permanently blind you. Unfortunately, as product liability cases show, far too often the reality is somewhat different, and you are parting with money to a brand or company that you trust, that is selling you a product that will actually injure or kill you. It may be just a part in a car that leads to the car automatically accelerating and it may be a food item that you eat, but one has to be so careful, because the legal remedies are often not going to be good enough – there is a limit to what money can achieve and it certainly does not help you when either you or someone you love dies.
