E-bikes and e-scooters kill people daily, accidents on those things can mess people up and there are none of the safety mechanisms like crumple zones or seatbelts on a bike. If you search "e-bike deaths" you'll get hits.
Do they kill over a million people a year worldwide? How many orders of magnitude fewer people are killed by E-things?
OP's point was that if you invented something today that killed over a million people per year, it probably wouldn't be allowed, and I don't think that's really that controversial a statement.
