The absurdity of this all is the "precedence" in the US law. So you can make
and sell a toy or airplane that would fail. People would die and only after
this they will regulate.
I am not for regulations, but as you point out in many cases they are
required, so that our lives are endangered.
Recently the EU introduced a low "the right to repair". I doubt that it will
have effect, because even if I knew how to repair my broken car,
manufactures make special tools that are so expensive that only the car
repair shop can afford. Some tools are available only for licensed shops.
This is pure pornography
