A place to post product recalls. Recalls can be national or local, even just one store down the street. Nor are they limited to one country, if a product is declared unsafe by the government or the maker, share it here.
Title should reflect what's being recalled, body should say where and/or have a link to the announcement.

More of a gun cabinet really. If the lock doesn't work is it really safe?
It's not that the lock doesn't work, it's that they never set it up.
Lock should not default to "any print unlocks it until it's programmed." Like someone mentioned above, if you don't add a fingerprint to your phone, then fingerprint unlock is disabled. Otherwise, anyone could get into your phone if you didn't set up your fingerprint. And that's a PHONE, not a gun safe.
The manufacturer should have required the physical key to be present and the safe unlocked before you can program a code or fingerprint. This is how cheap ass Amazon combo locks work. While I feel the onus is almost entirely on the parents here, the manufacturer is at the very least negligent in its design.
