    The device defaults to unsafe. For a device designed to protect lives, that’s incredibly irresponsible.

    According to the recall:

    There have been 39 incidents of consumers reporting that their safes have been accessed by unpaired fingerprints.

    Meaning the device is janky enough that at least 39 other people have also had the same problem.

    Additionally

    the parents did not operate the safe according to instructions

    The article doesn’t state that. It’s possible that the parents followed the instructions or thought they followed the instructions, but the device failed to provide sufficient feedback that it was in kill-your-kids mode.
