| 0:00.0 | Hey, hey, it's Jack, hosted the show. |
| 0:03.4 | I went to IKEA the other day to buy Lamp, and when I went in, I saw that they had a recall notice on the bulletin board. |
| 0:10.5 | Their garlic press was getting recalled. |
| 0:13.0 | They said that 10 people got injured using it, and I think little metal bits would fall off and cut some fingers. |
| 0:19.6 | So they stopped selling it and were issuing full |
| 0:21.8 | refunds to anyone who bought one. And it made me think, hold on, has this ever happened with computers? |
| 0:29.8 | Like, has a store ever recalled a computer because it was dangerous? And what does dangerous mean? |
| 0:36.4 | There was a story that came out a few years back, which was about a super cheap gaming computer that was being sold on Amazon, but little did anyone know. |
| 0:44.1 | The computer came with malware on it. |

| 1:19.4 | This computer is unsafe. Don't buy it. One star. And more reports came in about people saying |
| 1:23.8 | that their computers came with malware on it. And I mean, if you got a new gaming PC |
| 1:29.1 | and during the time you were setting it up, it stole your cryptocurrency, took over your email, |
| 1:34.5 | and stole your Steam account, how much would that hurt you? How dangerous is that? Would it hurt more |
| 1:41.2 | than getting a metal sliver in your finger from a garlic press? I think so. |
| 1:46.0 | Yet, as far as I know, computer shops, such as Best Buy, Amazon, or wherever, never issue recall notices for computers or tech, which are malicious. |
| 1:59.0 | Retailers who sell defective items that are unsafe typically issue recall notices to buy back faulty items that are dangerous. |
