Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the STEG and the pressure equipment ordinance also cover a fire extinguisher's lack of functionality as a safety defect.
Decisione estratta
For fire extinguishers, a functional defect can amount to a safety defect under the STEG because the device's purpose is to avert external danger.
Motivazione estratta
Although product safety law concerns the product's own safety, not mere usability, this is different where the product's value lies in protecting against harm; for fire extinguishers, a non-functioning device can create safety risk.
