Gold Apollo clarified that the AR-924 pagers in question were not manufactured by them but by BAC, a European company licensed to use their brand, stating: 'We only provide brand trademark authorization and have no involvement in the design and manufacturing of this product.' This highlights the company's efforts to dissociate from the damaging implications linked to the pagers, emphasizing their lack of control over the product's production process.
Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs indicated that they had no record of direct exports to Lebanon, implying that the regulation of the product was either remiss or that it had been altered post-manufacture. This lack of accountability raises concerns over how exported technologies could be repurposed for malicious uses without the original manufacturers' knowledge.
