Question
Do u know about any company who is not successful in launching a
product"
The question should be whether I know of any company that has NOT had a failed product. Research shows that over 75% of all new products fail.
Every car company has had a product that has to be considered a failure, the most classic being the Ford Edsel.
Wikipedia has a list of commercial failures in computer technology that contains several dozen examples:

Food companies bring out new products all the time and most are pulled from the shelves within a year. There is an interesting article on "The Museum of Food Failures" at:
