I'm not sure the government would have any legal standing to bring a product liability suit, but if that's your concern, there's nothing preventing the government from taxing a company out of business today.

What about the tobacco situation? Wasn't that government involved there? :)

And I mentioned product liability, but who knows what other punitive damages situations much be created which government could ride to an increased budget? Punitive damages can be awarded for more than just product liability torts, right?
