“Individual families have lost their rights because of an arbitrary date,” said Richardson, who is also a lawyer. “When people are seriously injured by defectively designed products, those responsible for the design should pay. Otherwise, it shifts responsibility to the taxpayers, which is unfair and irresponsible.”
How arbitrary can the OR date be when numerous other states have time specific statutes of limitations on products related claims?
WI is one year – MT is three—
In this particular case, if there was a “broken” bulb in the gym – what happened – their eyes were effected by a one time exposure or was the school negligent by not replacing the bulb when it broke?
Lets see, the last big show down was with gun manufactures being sued because their products were being misues. Not the manufactures fault, so the U. S. Congress past a law that forbids friolous suits simply because the product could have hurt someone..Being misused after the sale!
Now, a manufacture is again faced with cradle to the grave promise of a super safe product? Again, if the product is misued or (read lead paint)if the product was later determined to be unsafe due to inherent components not known by anyone at the time of production,when does the ambulance chasing end? Greedy SOB attorneys.

WI has a 3 year bodily injury Statute of Limitations, and no Statute of Repose with regard to the age of the product. Just an FYI.
