The Firestone Tire Recall
Last month, Firestone announced a recall of 6.5 million tires following reports of 46 deaths related to blowouts of tires on Ford sport-utility vehicles. The death toll has since risen to 88. What do you think?

"You can bet that from now on, I'll only be buying Michelins–the only tire safe enough for a nude infant to ride around in without even any car."
Diane Tendero,
Nurse Practitioner
"SUV drivers are being killed. Killed, I tell you! Whoopee!"
Donna Petruso,
Caterer
"This is precisely why I will not permit vulcanization in my home."
Ron Gullett,
Electrician
"I bet those Consumer Reports guys are really creaming their jeans over this one."
Marty Reese,
Carpenter
"This should be a boon to Fox's America's Deadliest Crashes. I'm sick of seeing that motorcycle run into the bus."
Ed Westlake,
Systems Analyst
"I still say it's better to careen off a cliff in a Ford than drive a Chevy."
