The combination of the BB threads and Nik's has made me worry. This
ISN'T
about profit or not, and it doesn't apply to the Audiotrons (see end)
:-)
Let's run by a quick scenario:
- UKHAer "A", buys product "B" from US supplier "C", through a bulk buy
organiser "D".
- 6 months later, "A" suffers an injury as his "B" explodes.
- This injury forces him to take 12 months off work.
- Fortunately, he is insured, and his insurance company pays his
disability
benefit
- His insurance company then starts the normal process of looking for
someone
to claim the money back off.
- Increasingly, it is standard practice to issue "shotgun suits" - ie to
issue suits for damages against everyone in the chain... manufacturer, US
supplier "C", _and_ probably bulk-buy organiser "D".
... it's possible that the courts might rule that D had a
responsibility, had
committed an offence by selling something without CE certification, and
this
offence had ended up in an injury... therefore D was responsible?
What d'ya think?
