What I don't understand is why Lidl just didn't buy the domain for £20 and put something innocuous up. Surely cheaper than a recall
That’s what I thought, it seems easier to regain control of the domain than trying to recall all products with it printed on.
Perhaps they were worried it would become a bigger scandal and thought a recall and refund would look better to the public.
Always surprises me how often domain renewals seem to get forgotten about too. Even big tech companies have been caught out by this.
