I've seen this issue beat around the internet repetitively, somehow it is felt that it falls in our trades lap.

I say this is wrong.

One cannot even begin to make an educated guess (at least in the residential market) as to where these may be used or for what duration.

I also do not see many large discalimers on strip packaging that would deter marketing.

If in fact there are millions of these strips illeagally used per NEMA, UL, or whatever watchdog is to sanction thier usage let THEM deal with the issue.
