[Avodah] mezuzah checked

[Rich, Joel]

From the OU:
Q. How often must a mezuzah be checked to make sure that it is still kosher, and how is the checking done?
A. Shulchan Aruch (YD 291:1) writes that a mezuzah that is placed on private property, such as on one's home, must be checked twice in 7 years (i.e., every 3½ years). .........
Me- I suppose the OU initially laid out its vision for this series but ISTM presenting this as a "halacha pesuka" without mention that some contemporary poskim disagree, may be causing the laity not to ask questions of their rav when a question would be appropriate.
Thoughts?
