This is not necessarily a bad strategy. You'll note that things like defibrillators are not made by big companies with lots of assets (since a defib is one of those things being used on a dying person, and success is not guaranteed, and the family members of one of those non-successes sometimes want someone to sue) You could have a mfr company with small assets that's willing to take the hit and go out of business. The principals could then reform the company under a different name, etc. "piercing the corporate veil" only goes so far.
