Wow, that's a great phrase. "No reported cases" is a serious weasel-phrase, and "parts departing aircraft" is much easier to take than "things falling off planes."

"no reported cases" is a lot less of a weasel-phrase in an industry that has mandatory reporting of these things.

No, it's not because it doesn't define who it would be reported to. So it could be not reported to FAA, or Boing, or a person responsible for this specific design or anybody really, perfectly shedding any responsibility whatsoever.
