Seems like this isn't per-product, but rather per-brand in a particular category.

So while it seems like a big step forwards (great!), it's still not going to tell you if a particular item from a brand is a big lemon. And in my experience, that's often what happens when a well-known brand starts putting out a few "budget" items. (Happened to me recently on a blender that burned out on first use, and going back to search the user reviews, it seems to be a notorious problem for that specific model of blender, but not the brand overall.)

Would be amazing if Amazon could display per-product stats on returns, at least for items with >10,000 total sales.

(In contrast, warranties usually/always seem to be handled directly through the manufacturer in the US at least, so Amazon wouldn't even have that data.)
