I once watched a muzzle loader go off with a Hawken shop lock when the the tumbler broke- the rifle was pointed downrange. Was that a design fault as well?

Maybe they got sued for being negligent. It is possible that maybe the people suing were not just trying to grab money from this poor company who did nothing wrong. Maybe if your kid was laying on the ground dead because Reminton would not spend 5 cents on a fix to a known problem your opinion might be different.
The trigger was a design flaw, the guy who designed it told Remington and Remington has admitted it yet still tries to blame unsuspecting owners.
Even Remington's parent company knew it was Remington's fault and sold the company to get away from damage caused by the neglect.
