Rule 407 doesn't apply here because the accused did not take any subsequent measure to remedy an error. Ryobi is not charged with applying safeguards after an incident to correct a mistake in manufacturing and cover their asses. That rule protect Ryobi in the case where the Prosecution charges Ryobi with negligence and proving it by saying they (Ryobi) knew they made a defective product and the safeguards they put in place after an incident proves that they knew their product wasn't safe.

Great article. The last sentence hit it home, "Green is about durability..." In Vancouver, BC I've seen beautiful old homes being torn down and replaced with pre-fab and poorly made houses and leeky condos all for the sake of real estate trends. These dwellings will not last even 50 years and all of them will age poorly and eventually be torn down.
