Please Read our General Disclaimer and Statute of Limitations Disclaimer.

Notwithstanding any other statutory provisions to the contrary, all actions¹ brought against a manufacturer or seller of a product, regardless of the substantive legal theory or theories upon which the action is brought, for or on account of personal injury, death, or property damage caused by or resulting from the manufacture, construction, design, formula, installation, preparation, assembly, testing, packaging, labeling, or sale of any product, or the failure to warn or protect against a danger or hazard in the use, misuse, or unintended use of any product, or the failure to provide proper instructions for the use of any product shall be brought within two years after the claim for relief arises and not thereafter.

If any person entitled to bring any action mentioned is under the age of eighteen years, mentally incompetent, imprisoned, or absent from the United States at the time the cause of action accrues and is without spouse or natural or legal guardian, such person may bring said action within the time limit specified after the disability is removed. If such person has a legal representative, such person's representative shall bring the action within the period of limitation imposed.²
