I was looking for some numbers on CF related lawsuits. I still
haven't found anything useful, but I did blunder across this article
in a legal blog, which has some relevent data and sample lawsuits:
"Improper Bicycle Assembly and Defective Bicycle Parts"
http://floridacyclinglaw.com/blog/archives/improper-bicycle-assembly-and-defective-bicycle-parts

Bicycle recalls are another marginal source of failures:

Interesting. There's even a recall for defective rim tape. However,
I found very few CF related recalls. Some for fork failures and none
for CF frame failures. For example:

http://www.bicycleretailer.com/recalls/2015/12/17/focus-recalls-some-izalco-max-over-fork-issue
http://www.bicycleretailer.com/recalls/2015/12/02/felt-recalls-645-bikes-carbon-fiber-seatposts-can-crack
No epidemic here.
