That may be true as I don't know for sure, but as a business I would surely want to know as much as possible. From what I remember, Ford insists on pushing the issue so it looks really bad for them.
And to me, that is the difference. AFA is pushing this issue, not WalMart.
Personally I hope AFA succeed in getting its boycott going against WalMart.....that means less people in the store when I want to go shopping.
