before they sold off the brand to a different company, corning started selling tempered glass as 'pyrex', resulting in a dozen or so hospital visits with disabling burn injuries every year in the usa alone

i'm not sure whether to blame this kind of line extension fraud on unethical management, on consumers who can't tell the difference and consequently buy such fraudulent products whenever they're cheaper, or on poorly-thought-out regulations (making real pyrex emits boria into the air, which is an insecticide and therefore does environmental damage, a consideration probably not relevant to gorilla glass)
