The problem is not with the unit or the manufacturer, it's with the OPERATOR.

Sue Glock if you shoot yourself in the foot?

Sue Craftsman if you drill a hole in your hand?

Sue Ford for crashing when you fall asleep at the wheel?

How about we put the blame where it belongs? Maybe for the sheer novelty of it.

What about elevating the charge for responses to nonsense calls every time someone calls? Get the IDs of all involved so they don't pass the blame around.

Sure, why not?
You can sue McDonald's if you spill coffee on your own lap.

You can sue Big Tobacco for the cancer they "gave" you, of course by forcing smoke down your lungs multiple times daily for years.

You can sue a homeowner when you're capability for walking is exceeded by a sidewalk.

I think here in the US, there's so much frivilous BS that unfortunately, the precedent has left "responsiblilty" and gone into stupidity.

I might be getting close to crossing over some forum rules, but I think you get my point.
