Bobbers...glad to see you recommend an atorney!
That should have been the first thing...let the atorney write the letter to the manufacturer! Let the attorney write the letter to the retailer. I am not an attorney! Your life is a serious matter! Glad you still have it by the way! My .02 is that I wouldn't handle it, step out of the way and let a pro.
