So what about items like for instance a generator you know maybe saying it caught fire

This refers to any Item that's susceptible to catching fire, like (for example) Lithium-Ion batteries when they short-circuit or overheat.

As such you'd use the "disposed of the faulty Item method", by saying It was Immediately thrown In the trash due to health and safety concerns.

any idea how this will be handled.

Companies have protocols In place to deal with health & safety matters, hence they must comply with their regulations.

If you add personal Injury to the SE, It will significantly Increase the likelihood of success.
