I don't see this in quite the same way. People might have a reasonable expectation that their hair, clothing, jewelry wouldn't be grabbed by the mechanics of a massager with such ferocity that it strangles them to death. Working on a drill press, yes... having a massager rub along the back of your neck, no.

wap3 you should know by now that many Americans have lost their common sense and would rather their government tell them exactly how to do everything and protect them from everything under the sun, including the sun in some cases.

Though a reasonable person wouldn't use the massager if the attached covering became torn or detached. But we can't accuse many of being reasonable.

If someone doesnt have the sense to remove their jewlery before using a massager, then I nominate them as a candidate for a Darwin award all the way. As for clothing and hair, that does sound like a bit much.

Thank you Prohibition----I have long hair and generally tie it up in a pony tail prior to using any device or seeing my massage therapist, chiropractor, and even acupuncturist.

Call me crazy but I don't want anything in the way of my bodywork.

Maybe if the company should taint the massagers with Bacillus cereus; then the FDA will ignore them.

1 has an accident resuling in death and yet thousands have been sold. And of course family has to blame someone or somthing. This company will go bankrupt now.

clean water is EPA - google clean water act of 1972

FDA is concerned with food and drug safety in the United States...not "all items imported." Import of most pharmaceutical drugs is already illegal anyhow...and the USDA takes care of numerous aspects of meat and produce import.

I'm not saying to get rid of the FDA, but it needs a major and long-over-due overhaul

All things imported are supposed to be inspected, but we have lowered the tariffs, and there is so much imported that it often doesn't happen. Remember the play jewelry made of cadmium? When parents buy toys, they expect them to be clean, non-toxic, and not going to fall into shrapnel. An adult massage machine is another story, but it sounds as though people were using it as directed (except for the jewelry case), and it still grabbed clothing and hair. Why is it that anybody would side with this company? It reminds me of the Wisconsin alcohol wipes company: something for medical use that could kill you if used as directed. Why isn't it called murder?

Google it...

Yep, third picture down with the corpse laying face up, but her body is face down! Gruesome! It looks like there's a whistle hanging out of her ear?

Ya, talk about a massage with unhappy ending!

It's a Darwin award if caused by the user (i.e., the person who wore jewelry). It can be called Murder, or Fascism, or Civil War. Doesn't matter what you call it. It causes death. But don't blame the victims (except for the person who wore jewelry).

Good one!

In this case, it's called Civil War.

Who would let their son wear a sweater with a hood on it in public anyway?

Send it back to China and try to get a refund for a piece of crap!!

And in this case, it's called Fascism.

OK, so it's only for men who go around nude. I hope it doesn't eat any body part that sticks out.

how about smoke a joint and shut the fuk up already.....

After 8 years, things start to fall apart. Now is about when you would find problems. So you side with the company. In this case, death is called Fascism.

Elizabeth-1372999Oh how silly. I am a very compassionate person. If you want to ban things that cause death, you have to ban alcohol, cars, and penicillin (which causes 500 - 1000 deaths per year.) Get over yourself before you criticize others for pointing out the folly in these silly articles. Find a purpose for your life instead of letting an article create one for you, hehe.

Beth, I can do a better job than this machine. Especially if you're going to be naked anyway. Give me a call!

Again, this is serious. But really, the reason it is mostly women who buy such machines is that it is the only way to get a massage, and not just talk.

Exactly, I put purchases like this up there with home made bread makers.

what??? you mean you don't need to spend $200.00 to have a machine knead your dough. I would love to know how many people actually use their bread maker on a weekly, monthly, yearly or a once in awhile dusting basis...bet the dusting comes in the the very high 90% range.

DELGENA - we use ours a minimum of 2 times a month- the machine takes all the work out of kneading and rising the bread, - we pull it out and bake it before the cook cycle starts -

ours is a Williams -Sonoma that I got for $10 at a yard sale, brand new! They were tired of dusting it.......

@Ritdog - you made a great purchase with using it that much. I think its funny how people spend alot of money and never use things, but someone like you who finds a terrific bargain actually uses it. Very economically smart on your part!!!!!

Sorry, I spelled the word buy "by" in my post.... I spelled it wrong, clearly I also got stuck on stupid!!

SPELLING B POLICE

Vera....please step away from the keyboard and turn off the computer....You have the right to remain silent but you don't have the rights to put yourself down because we all make mistakes....You may continue.

Then there was the guy who tried to sue handyman rental because he used his rental lawnmower to trim his hedges by picking it up and waving it over the hedge.

Chopped his fingertips off. Handyman had NO warning labels that you couldn't do that, so he sued.

He lost - somehow. In this country stupidity is rewarded by the courts all the time.
