Every year, ~2500 people spill things on themselves from a microwave and 100 of them are hospitalized, so we have to punish everyone.
After years of women nagging about how dangerous microwaves are, they got enough favorable votes (9 of 17) from the largely secret board, the UL 923 Standards Technical Panel, to ruin countless lives across America.
UL 923 voted to ban the sale of microwaves that don't have complicated locks, starting March 2024. Plug in the microwave, and it will lock the door every time you use it. Disabling the feature is only temporary unless you take the mechanism apart.
Another reason things cost more, all without even a vote from Congress.

On July 30, 2018, Richard Gary Black was killed while defending his family. A naked man named Dajon Harper kicked down Gary's door and grabbed his 11-year-old grandson. Dajon was biting and strangling the boy and trying to drown him in a bathroom when Gary shot him twice in the chest. Meanwhile, police officers arriving on the scene heard gunshots from within the home and saw Gary inside. Without identifying themselves, they began screaming commands at him; noticing the commotion outside, Gary pointed a lit flashlight toward the officers, so one of them fired three shots into the 73-year-old, and then a fourth after he had fallen. No charges were brought against the officer who killed Gary.
