This so called safety problem has exisited for years, People have even sued Remington for it. If you make a product and sell a butt load of it, there is always going to be someone that trys and sue you. There will also be a precentage of product failures. There has to be. No product can be made perfect. I have owned a ton of their rifles and my friends have owned a ton of them, none of us have ever had a problem. Is there a tiny pecentage of them out there that has a problem, there has to be.
When someone does something stupid, like shooting their rifle accidently, the first thing they do is blame the product. This is where most of this BS comes from. It's human nature.
Remington has sold so many more rifles than any other manufacturer, they have to top the list of these so called product failures. It's a math thing.
