What do you consider an appropriate fine for someone who’s using a product in the manner approved by laws and the manufacturer when the product malfunctions and kills someone?

They’re not using the product in the manner approved by the manufacturer at all. Driver is 100% responsible in this case and 23k is an absolute insult to the victims and the judicial system.

We are missing some info regarding why the penalty was so low, though. With the details from the article, the sentence doesn’t make any sense.
