Actually, what I said applies whether the equipment was badly installed or not. If they have identified a problem (whether with the equipment itself or with the way was installed) that is a potential safety hazard, then the only quick fix would be to tell customers not to use the service. Then, they would need to investigate the problem, and possibly test all the equipment, which, however much money they throw at it, is going to take time.

I actually expressed no opinion as to whether the equipment was safe or not. I can't, I don't know the equipment and haven't seen the installations.
