    Your liability would have been the same as for any cutting board you've sold. It could increase your liability to sell a product that is more hazardous than a normal cutting board.
    What does your insurance agent say? If your covered for all cutting boards you should be good.
    I'm not a lawyer, but I've studied product liability.

    I was cutting a board about 1.5 inches thick and cutting off about 1/8th of an inch. The board had a recess I didn't notice and the blade came through the side.On a regular saw, I would have lost about a 1/4" or more of my finger. Instead, it felt like a little electrical shock and BAM! blade was gone, didn't even leave a mark on my finger. I swear by the Saw Stop table saw, there's a table saw injury every 9 minutes in the USA. The day I ordered it, an employee split his ring finger down the middle about 1/2 way through his finger. I had asked him if he was qualified to use a TS, He swore up and down, no problem. First 6 inches into the cut, he pushed the wood away from the fence and split the finger. He lied about ever using a TS, cost him a life long injury. ALSO, my workmans comp went up $1000.00 a month. SO don't think for one second that the Saw Stop is too expensive people.

    A smaller one has made a person dizzy but it was due to their own condition.
