They were probably threatened with legal action under the trading standards act so were forced to look at it. We all knew there was a problem, but gw refused to publicly acknowledge there was a problem. Instead they repeatedly fobbed off enquirers with fabricated low stock excuses.

Well at least GW have remedied the serious issue. That's a small point in their favour at least.
