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 10, 2020, the CPSC announced the following recall related to a product that presents a fire hazard:

Ring Recalls Video Doorbells (2nd Generation) Due to Fire Hazard.

According to the CPSC, “[t]he video doorbell’s battery can overheat when the incorrect screws are used for installation, posing fire and burn hazards.”
