Hi Jeff,

All of the advice is just that advice.
There is no way to know if there has been damage, regardless of what has 
happened in other situations.
There are no guarantees you can give your customer


I'm not advocating not using them, only that I would only use them with caution 
and careful observation for the first days/weeks to see if any problems appear.
