In Illinois back in early 1980's, two folks were killed when a persons brakes failed and they were run over.
The person driving was eventually jailed. It was quite the sensation back then making a lot of the national news outlets.
It also changed a lot of ways of doing business.
No more oversize brake shoes were sold and no more "lesser quality" aka "economy" shoes / pads were sold to those trying to go "cheap". Only pads / shoes manufactured to the minimum required by the car maker were to be sold after that debacle.
So, now you have heard...
