Correct! Once the retailer owns the product he/she will attempt to market it.
But I have control of my pocket book and have the option of buying a better product or shop for a better price. We are in charge as consumers. If Walmart wants to take the chance of a civil suit knowing they are selling a defective product, that's their business. If I owned the company I would request Goodyear exchange the product for a safer product or loose business at our stores. Goodyear and Walmart are in bed together and depend on each other.
I'm sure Walmart is shaking in it's boots. :R
To quote your own words -
"But I have control of my pocket book and have the option of buying a better product or shop for a better price. We are in charge as consumers."Clearly you weren't when buying these Marathons. ;)
The Marathon is no more "defective" than any of the hundreds of other brands of trailer tires for sale around the world and as already pointed out in this thread others haven't had any issues at all with their own Marathons. :S
