Thats actually a good analogy, well said!

An immediate sales stop and recall is certainly appropriate when food endangers people's health, I'm not sure it is the right decision in this case. You could give manufacturers some time to fix it, and only then stopping the sales. This way they would still be incentivised to quickly make a fix, but avoid the potentially huge economic downside, which will lead to higher barriers of entry and probably further consolidation, hurting consumers in a different way. Remember that regulation always benefits the incumbents.
