You peaked my interest so I did some google lawyer. They do have a duty of care to be reasonably prudent as defined by their organization however from my read of the link things like Polaks sink would not be covered because it's a latent defect.

From the link it appears if you can't see it the home inspector is not liable
Yes I think so too. I wouldn't expect any inspector to see the defective glue. I did know of an inspector who missed the aluminum wiring in a house and his defense was that he couldn't be expected to see the wires behind the walls. Too bad the panel was pretty much front and center in every picture my friends brought to court. I think they got about 7k.
