Now- If a person doesn't get something fixed that they know exists and can avoid an 'accident' then they are indirectly responsible. (EG. You know the safety seat you're sticking your baby in has a recall because it can strangle your child. Yet you never trade it in. You're still indirectly responsible for your babies death.)
