In subrogation cases where the insured's damages were caused
by a defective product, the fact that the product at issue is or
was subject to a recall announced by the Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC) may help to establish that the product was
defective when it left the manufacturer's possession and
control. On December 31, 2020, the CPSC announced the following
recall related to a product that presents a fire hazard:
Anticimex Recalls SMART Connect
Mini Devices Due to Fire and Injury Hazards (Recall Alert).
According to the CPSC, "[t]he device's power supply can
overheat while charging, and cause the plastic enclosure to fly
off, posing fire and injury hazards."
