Reviews

  • It is perfect for grabbing all of my connections!

  • I needed a new Surge Protector in the kitchen/dining room area. This one is great! I charged my Fitbit while I had a printer, laptop and coffee pot going and all functioned/performed as they should. This would have been "too busy" for my old one and my Fitbit would have charged somewhere else.

  • First, the safety covers over each plug spin freely at the slightest touch so you're always having to align them before plugging anything in. And they call them "twist-to-lock" which is a misnomer because they do no lock but spin freely and annoyingly. Also, why is there only one adapter-spaced plug?

Omniscan lawsuit
On 23 March 2013 GE Healthcare, a division of this company, was found by a jury in a federal court in Cleveland to have failed to adequately warn patients and doctors about the dangers of its medical imaging dye, Omniscan. The jury awarded US$5m to the plaintiff and his wife. This was the first time a jury had examined whether the dye, injected to sharpen MRI scans, can cause the debilitating disease of Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis. It was revealed that GE Healthcare ignored the advice of its own experts in 2009 and 2010 to proactively restrict its use. The company had also settled a few hundred cases involving the dye out of court which were all confidential.

CEO Pay Ratio of 486:1
In 2019 the median pay for a worker at this company was US$50,471. The CEO was paid 486 times this amount. Exorbitant CEO pay is a major contributor to rising inequality. CEOs are getting more because of their power to set pay, not because they are increasing productivity or possess specific, high-demand skills. The economy would suffer no harm if CEOs were paid less (or taxed more). In contrast, the CEO-to-typical-worker compensation ratio was 20-to-1 in 1965 and 58-to-1 in 1989.
