Thompson signs bill limiting product liability
Arlington Heights AP Gov James Thompson signed a compromise measure setting time limits on product liability suits. The law bars a consumer injured by a defective product from suing after 10 years from purchase or 12 years from first sale to a wholesaler, with longer periods allowed if a warranty extends. Illinois Manufacturers' Association praised the move but seeks further restrictions next year. The measure takes effect Jan 1.
