New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate’s submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey. The CEO, Stockton Rush, bought discounted carbon fiber past its shelf life from Boeing, which experts say is a terrible choice for a deep-sea vessel. This likely played a role in the submersible’s tragic demise.
Also most bikes aren’t under enough pressure to cause them to implode
Not with that attitude.

Actually CF road bikes only have a safe lifespan of about 10 years - https://icancycling.com/blogs/articles/lifespan-of-road-bike-frame
<insert yo mama joke here>
Different loads, different failures, but still a valid safety concern.
I would not want my bike frame or fork to be made with expired resin. But the age of the bike after the CF is cured is a different matter.
