It's a good point though. Why/how is something unsafe for an American, but safe for an Italian or Spaniard?
Differing regulations and standards between countries usually makes no sense and just harms the consumer.
How is a Volvo made for the Swedish market unsafe on Canadian roads? EU and Canada recently signed a trade agreement so that they won't tariff eachothers' cars, but consumers still can't buy a car from a European dealer and have it shipped over.
Or vaccines. Why isn't there a global approval system?
Yeah yeah, everyone can point to an example where their regulatory agency's anxieties/delays/negligence prevented some issue, but fail to consider the impacts of all of their other delays/rejections.
