The tin-whiskers problem needs to be front page news. When consumer electronics start failing left and right, maybe someone will put two and two together. Of course, consumer electronics products are failing at a higher rate then ever before, I think a lot of failures blamed on "cheapness" probably can be traced to lead-free solder. The average person doesn't seem to care though, the stuff is usually obsolete before it fails and a new one goes on the credit card. It's amazing that people accept the low levels of quality in consumer electronics today.
