Really? I thought product liability applies to products that have been sold, in this case the product was never on sale, there's no one to take the rap in a product liability sense and that's it...

It's helpful of this thread to remind people that when they import something from outside the EU that they have no EU/UK product liability come back, but I've seen nothing to suggest that they themselves become responsible for product liability unless they actually put it on sale (for retail as a new product).
