The Subrogation Strategist

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 November 14, 2017, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the following recall notices related to products that present fire and and/or explosion hazards:
