Your turn.

I would re-word the red part to "Production of this product was discontinued due to numerous lawsuits claiming that it is prone to premature failure. Frequent maintenance may be necessary to prevent water intrusion and deterioration."

I learned to go this route with narratives when I had an angry homeowner threatening to sue me for "killing the deal" because they thought my FPE narrative was "inflammatory". Also had a realtor berate me over the phone for "being an alarmist" and told me that he would bad mouth me for my "lack of professionalism" because my narrative stating that the chimney with obviously excessive corbelling and very sloppy masonry joints (could see right through them in many spots "was a serious health, structural and fire hazard" without elaborating on why it was hazardous. I'm sure the realtors and sellers hate this approach just as much but I haven't gotten any of these calls since. I wonder why ...
