“AI is here whether you like it or not” doesn’t mean I have to take seriously the constant sales pitches in my inbox for tools that don’t work, don’t address any of my operational needs, and falsely promise to lighten my workload

This is how I found out about a recall for our Ninja Foodi (fixable for free!) 🫶
People do find out about recalls from our feed. We know it can be weeks and even months of not seeing a recalled product you own, but we regularly see people learning about recalls on here and we're so glad every time.
