that doing so puts me under -- that's life too.

How many businesses do you suppose are in a position to recall an entire
year's production?

That's what's happening with Topps right now.....

They produce two million pounds per year and are recalling 1.7 million
pounds - most of which has - in all likelihood - already been consumed.
