    This product isn’t the only one to ever be recalled. It won’t be the last either. Also not everyone eats their food immediately upon purchase and not everyone looks into the details of a recall either. My parents would bin anything that was recalled, no matter the reason.

    It doesn’t matter how many people are returning it. That isn’t relevant. The problem is that recalls are made over things that can be easily fixed remotely. The food is completely edible but any might be wasted because they made the decision to issue a recall instead of working with the site.

      This cannot “easily be fixed remotely”. The domain was scooped up by a company that pretty much exists to extort other companies.

      I don’t know if this is an actual lidl url, a third party, or something that was supposed to be handled by their PR company. But these are not “Hey, we forgot to renew it. Can we just give you the thirty bucks and get it back?”. it is more “So… you want how many tens of thousands of dollars to give this back?”

      And they would also figure out WHY lidl/whoever wants the URL back and raise the price even more to avoid people like you complaining that this “can be easily fixed remotely”.
