Google to Relaunch Nest Protect
by Zacks Equity Research Published on May 27, 2014
The world's largest online search engine, Google, announced that Nest Labs, which it acquired recently,
will again start selling Nest Protect — a smoke and carbon monoxide detector — in a few weeks’ time.
Though the company has not specified a date, it stated that the product, after some software update, will
hit the market soon as no unwanted incidents have been reported yet.
Last month, the company announced that it would stop selling the product over safety concerns. The product
featured Nest Wave allowing users to turn off the alarm with a wave of their hand. A test revealed that the
smoke detector misinterpreted any unintended movement as a wave, thus disabling the alarm in case of a
real fire. Therefore, in order to prevent any accident, management offered automatic deactivation of the feature
on all smoke detectors.

I wonder how many people will die because GOOGL has decided to resume selling this product
because bad reports have stopped arriving?
