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 June 5, 2018, the CPSC announced the following recall related to a product that presents a fire hazard:

Keyera Energy Recalls to Inspect Propane Gas Due to Fire and Explosion Hazards.

According to the CPSC, the recalled propane gas does not contain sufficient levels of odorant to help alert consumers to a gas leak.
