If I remember my torts course in law school correctly, defective product liability law usually only kicks in when someone is physically injured by the product.

Property damage doesn't count?

		It might be that the cases we read all involved someone getting personally injured. There's nothing about the law that limits the "injury" to personal injury, though--for example, if a defective battery catches fire and burns your house down, the manufacturer and everyone in the distribution chain are on the hook. (IAAL, not legal advice)
