It must be rare, and EMC or product safety might >be an issue on some products with poor quality control. Consider TV sets, not professional equipment. They do fail, but without becoming unsafe. Mostly, they fail after several years of service, and it is cheaper to buy a new one than pay for repairs, even if a repair is possible. A product that failed 'unsafe' would almost certainly not work, whereas it is known that products containing defunct EMC components do continue to work. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
