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. The CPSC recently announced the following recall notices related to products that present fire hazards:

Carrier and Bryant Recall Heat Pumps Due to Fire Hazard

Night Lights Recalled by AM Conservation Group Due to Fire Hazard.
