> Failures that forced a recall in China that continued to be shipped in the US.

One of the major ironies of life is that the horrible, mean, nasty, evil Chinese government (and I'm only being a little bit sarcastic: the Chinese government *is* vile in many ways!) offers its citizens far better consumer protection than does the good guy (totally sarcastic here, mind) USA.

This leads to an interesting, and unexpected, phenomenon.

To the surprise of many, Chinese products sold in China are often more expensive than the *identical* products sold in the USA. Why? Because the consumer protection laws in China make companies have to service or accept returns where in the USA the fallback on almost everything is "caveat emptor" so it's no risk of returns.
