Did you expect something useful from them as long as they're
ruled by trolls like Seehofer ?  ;-P

Well, depends on from which side you want to attack:
a) competition law violation:  you have to be a competitor or represent
   an reasonably large part of the market to be alled to file a suite. 
b) they've sold a defective product, and so you're going to hold them
   responsible for compensation
c) you see this as an defraud and press criminal charges.

Yep, that would be the shop's resposibility, followed on the consumer
protection law. Another side is directly attacking the producer.


BUT: for now we have *far more critical* problems in our country.
Our goverment is obviously guilty of high treason, not just by 
"EU constitution"/Lissabon contract.
In Bavaria, they even go that far to directly ignore an recent
contitutional court decision and legalize terroristic attacks 
by officials. Soon we're at the point where the basic right for 
violent resistent becomes active ...
