Many devices have air-vents that simultaneously protect the interior electrics/moving parts etc whilst allowing a free passage of air.
Forgotten Prisoners of The Vent are a range of specially commissioned novelty figures installed during factory stage. They peer out mournfully between the grills/slots
of these vents, with their hands gripping the bars like prisoners.
Details of their crimes come with the equipment, along with penalties incurred for releasing them early. ie forfeiture of warranty. In fact the only way they can be properly released is by taking the product to an authorised, designated outlet on its "service by" date. Special tools will then be deployed to release the Forgotten Prisoner of The Vent, who will be presented to the customer as a type of collectible reward.

Presumably these "Prisoners" will inevitably be the recipients of
Fan Mail…? |

Brilliant! [+] I don't know why they haven't been doing something like this all along. However, if this mirrors real life, I imagine at least one of the novelty figures will be deported upon their release, another one will land right back in the appliance as a repeat offender, while still another one will be killed in the appliance by another "lifer" novelty figure for some minor offense like not sharing a cigarette. |

Logically, it follows that some of the figures should not be there at all, and will receive huge compensation payments on their release. |

And that the person who secured their release will
be fired <link> |
