This issue of our Perspectives newsletter highlights three interesting and important issues:

• "Product Recalls and Expectation Bias" discusses the phenomenon when recalled products become the focus of a fire investigation before a thorough origin and cause investigation is properly conducted;

• “'Malfunction Theory' of Products Liability" considers the recent appeal of a CT Supreme Court case in which the plaintiff’s evidence was insufficient to establish its claim under the “malfunction theory;” and

• "Meaning of 'Collapse' in Property Insurance" examines the elusive nature of the term “collapse” due to ambiguities in policy language and differences in interpretation.
