Revise laws related to increasing product liability protection for consumers relating to economic harm

This bill amends Montana's product liability laws to allow consumers to seek compensation for both physical injuries and economic losses caused by defective products. It expands liability for sellers of unreasonably dangerous products even when the buyer did not purchase directly from them, as long as the product reached the consumer without significant changes. The legislation includes specific exceptions for claims related to COVID-19 and improper product design, while maintaining existing defenses such as product misuse, contributory negligence, and a 10-year statute of limitations with certain exceptions for concealed defects or long-term health risks.
