Your entire premise is that walmart went out of the way to fake a recall just to deny customers the chance to use a coupon or to price match.



Believe me I'm sure the stores would have preferred selling you the product.

The problem is, if there IS a recall in the air, they have to cover their assets. Which means pulling a product if there's a potential health risk.

And simply because it's cheaper to piss off one or two customers when they say "no we can't sell it" ... vs paying out big bucks on lawsuits if the recall proves to be true.



Besides... if something is possibly being recalled, why would you want to put it in your body anyway? Sure it might be on sale but if it turns out to be harmful or deadly... just how much do you really save if you end up sick or dead from using it?
