Quoted from NickBuffaloPinball:

Sadly, this click bait title is only 50% hyperbole.
I've been buying NIB games from Stern for 10+ years. Every game has had issues out of the box. This is the first one that tried to burn my house down.
As soon as I plugged in my NIB GZ Premium, it tripped the circuit in my house. Turns out they had the neutral and ground switched in the power box (see pic).

So much for quality control. I mean, is it safe to say they never plugged in the game and tried it?
My game also has the lightest application of clear I've ever seen, and the upkicker makes this terrible "clank" sound. But, at least those won't kill me.
Thankfully, I had a good electrician wire my gameroom.
Nice try Gary, but I'm still standing.

DESTRUCTION JACKPOT IN …3 ….2 ….1. …..BOOM!

This would be funny if it wasn’t so NOT funny - an issue like this in the UK would qualify for the HSE to be notified and for them to potentially launch an investigation.

Quoted from Zablon:

It also could just have been a friday afternoon or a monday morning. I've worked in manufacturing, things slip through. They are only human. Doesn't make it right, and yes if found needs addressed, but you'll never stop all of it.

Friday GZ’s !!!
