A company breaks an obscure, little known consumer law which no one is going to bother challenging in court because it would cost waaaaayyyyy more than its worth just to try to prove a point; and in all likelihood the challenge would fail under the weight of the number of lawyers Sony would throw at the complainant That's never happened before. Shit if companies are willing to break safety laws that can lead to people's deaths then doing this doesn't even rate as a corporate misdeed. |

Yes, they break such laws. And get punished for it.
Just so you know, there's a little thing called legal protection insurance. Some people happen to have one. At least one of those insurance companies has already (yesterday) accepted the claim as being legitimate and is going to pay for a trial against Sony in Germany.
