I don't see how you can contest that they're both products and that they can both kill people if they're defective. To me these two similarities are plainly true, and it is only these two similarities that are material to my argument.

I might misunderstand, but the direction your argument seems to be heading is that the free market is somehow incompatible with products that have complex failure modes or that can be defective in subtle ways, and that the FDA is thus necessary. Is that right?
