I could just imagine the lawsuit that would come up if an "expired" product failed.
    As my one EMT instructor said: "If all you have is something expired, use it and worry later."

No one can deny another person their right to their life, nor seize by force what is produced by someone else, because that is stealing their means to sustain their life. It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man’s throat and dictate how he must live his life."

    I agree with that sentiment. However, my department has a big enough budget that we can find some money tore place expired gear. If we struggled to find the cash, we have a couple administrative positions that could go.

    This was in regards to running out of fluid bags due to a screw up. We got shipped nearly expired bags, so it was that or nothing.
