How could they mess that up? It’s so easily testable that they should have caught it during initial product design prior to mass production.
I worked at Best Buy a long time ago. Insignia products are in house brands that are REALLY cheap and crappy quality. Dynex is also another one. We used to joke that if they made a whole PC out of Dynex parts it would probably catch fire. Even the dynex CDs would randomly crack
Do miss working at Futureshop where you would get wholesale on dynex. You could get a dozen compressed air canisters for a couple dollars. Don’t think I ever got anything else of theirs.
So the customers fill them up too high, not sure how one would test for that? It is expected to happen when overfilled. There if no way to avoid it at that point.
Well, it would help a bit if the full markings were correct.
Yes, but at the same time those testing this thing for safety know not to overfill it, as specified in the instructions. I assume the volume people then used comes from some recipe that specifies XYZ volume, which then resulted in the issue with the wrong markings. Really one of those odd issues that are not too easy to predict.
It’s called a safety factor, you should be able to overload it by at LEAST 10% before it fails.
How much was it over full?
You know why a safety factor is required?
