From what I can gather, under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 the frames could be classified as a defective product, due to defect in design - the shim being too short. This would mean that Condor would have to issue a product recall, and replace the frames (whether you are the original owner or not), or be liable for any injury caused by the frame cracking.
Off to Condor later in the week.
