Who knows, but probably pays to be careful anywhere in the world until the situation is clear. Reading between the lines it looks like they are moving quickly... Slowly!

We had the Samsung washing machine saga a few years ago which burnt down 84 homes. Don't want a repeat of that, plus petrol!

One could easily end up with this situation https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-42529615 Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
