I think it should be handled like a recall.  The CREATOR of the
DEFECTIVE product should be responsible for correcting the problem as
well as liable for damages, prior to the recall.

If the brakes on my car fail and I have a wreck because of a defective
design, the automobile manufacturer would be found at fault.  Look at
the recent Ford/Firestone fiasco.
