In which case you would have to duplicate the failure in a controlled test, to prove the case. Sounds expensive.
Yes, it does sound expensive due to the need to use specialized test equipments, but one have to take into consideration that it will not be cheap if a total recall is needed and most companies will try to deny that there was an issue to avoid the cost.
A lot of time we hear people making statements about class action suit, but never considered that to win a case one needs to prepare actual evidences and witnesses before hand.
For high tech companies that perform analysis and casting, they should have these kind of equipments or should know where to have it analyzed for a fees. In the States, UK and here in Singapore should not be a problem. Even one of the companies I worked for have these kind of equipments and I was in charge of that Components Technology Department at that time. Operators have to be certified annually and have to wear radiation tags when in the restricted laboratory zone.
