No we aren't.
Can these items be hijacked, what is the risk of that happening, and what is the damage they can cause?
> It's not IKEA's responsibility to ensure that every product they sell cannot be used in any destructive manner.
No, but they have a reasonable due of care.
I'm not saying that they shouldn't go on sale without the protections I mentioned. But it's surely a reasonable question to ask if those protections are in there, so as to better understand the risks.
>People have to take responsibility for purchasing and introducing new components into their home,
Yeah, but what ARE the risks? You can't answer my question, so how am I supposed to make an informed decision if I'm epileptic?
I know the balance of risks of knives. Everyone does. How many people know the potential risks of Zigbee-connected bulbs with a wifi hub?
