Defective smoke alarms may be the biggest sleeper consumer issue of the next decade said Board of Experts member Edward Swartz in a recent interview with Lawyers Alert. This new decision from a federal Circuit Court supports that prediction.

Here a smoke detector did not go off until a family had already evacuated the house and the fire department had arrived, they can sue the manufacturer in "products liability" because the alarm's failure to go off right away "enhanced" the damage to the house” (which in turn caused the family emotional suffering), says the Second Circuit.
