How Should Product Safety Concerns Be Addressed

consumer reports product recall This consumer reports on a design problem with a towel dispenser and asks the question: what to do about it?

I personally think that the product packaging on this Cutter product should be recalled (or the the product packaging should be modified with softer and/or non-pointed teeth). That said, sentence number seven on the back label of the Cutter product does say, "Do Not push finger through lid opening".

When do (generally) sensible people become stupid? When do products need to be modified for safety reasons? Would your answer change if it were a child's finger that got stuck in the story I recounted?
