Good tip BMT. In this particular case, the company argued that a short circuit caused the power failure and fire. The manufacturer disputed that, and claimed that the operator should have turned off the master switch before walking away. After an investigation, the manufacturer found worn insulation around the throttle cable, and suggested in an internal memo that it should send a letter advising customers to reroute the cable. The fight was over the admissibility of that memo in the trial.
