My experience when involved in product naming was that lawyers tend to very conservative about such things but, yes, in theory if you're clearly an unrelated category you can reuse an existing trademark. Historically, the purpose of trademark was essentially consumer protection to avoid confusion about who made something. It's actually quite different from copyright in that regard.
