Hartford considers product liability bill approval
In Hartford the House approved a product liability bill by 81 to 60, allowing a person injured through negligence in product use to collect damages. Rep. Ernest Abste noted misuse still affects recovery, but the bill prevents denial of recovery due to reasonable use and negligence. The measure returns to the Senate after an amendment, tracing to a State Supreme Court ruling that some contributory negligence defenses exist for manufacturers.
