After ten years, they suddenly tell me that it is no longer safe and must be replaced. Even though it still works. The toilet seat spits out warm water and responds to the buttons on the remote control. But the small print in the manual tells me that the design standard service life is 10 years. The design standard service life is ten years. Anything beyond that is my responsibility. I think to myself. Who is this “self-responsibility” for? Is it for the manufacturer? Or is it for us, the consumers, who might be involved in an accident? In the past, the refrigerator in my mother’s house had been working for more than twenty years. Sometimes the freezer door would get stuck due to ice jam, but we laughed about it and continued to use it. However, my current refrigerator is ten years old. After ten years, they tell you that there are no more parts for it. Not even repairs are allowed. This is because of the Product Liability Law. If there is a defect, the manufacturer is held responsible, even if there was no negligence. Therefore, they say, “We must not” use the product for a long period of time, which increases the risk. But is this really “for our protection”? Aren’t they just pretending to protect us and forcing us to buy new ones?” Such doubts whispered in my head. It’s not that it’s more fragile. It’s just that we are being told to pretend it’s broken when it’s not. In exchange for safety, we have unknowingly given up our right to “use things with care for a long time. The home appliance that will be pronounced dead in ten years, and my life that will lose its value in ─ ten years. I stopped thinking about which is more cruel.
