Nobody.

: If such problems only occurs in 10% it still is a problem.

If people only speak up to report a problem, it creates a perception
that the problem is widespread.  As a result effect, it also creates a
perception that solutions to the problem is widespread and thus widely
required.  If people report that they have had no problems, it helps to
downplay the perceived magnitude of the problem and the necessity for
implementing the solutions.  It's not whether a problem is real or
significant; it's whether the solution is really needed.  For example,
some bacteria can be bad if gets into a person.  But do we really need
anti-bacteria soap, anti-bacteria detergents, anti-bacterial spray, etc.
in our homes?
