    You got me wondering how that works. The retailers have already paid, so that wouldn’t hurt them immediately. Of course further orders would be shut off instantly.

    Would the government order LG to buy back units already sold or is the retailer shit out of luck?

      Retailers should immediately get their money back in an instance like this. I have no love for the retailers, but it would at least hurt the manufacturer.

      You can bet the retailers would sue them. And not occupying shelves cost them a lot of money. What’s in stock right now isn’t what’s sold in a year. Yes, it would suck for the retailers, but it would SUUUUCK for LG.
