Blocks lawsuits against stone slab makers for injuries caused by others altering their products.
This bill would stop people from suing companies that make and sell stone slab products, like countertops, if their injuries were caused by someone else cutting or shaping the product. It would also require courts to dismiss any similar lawsuits already happening. The goal is to protect manufacturers from being held responsible for workplace safety issues they don't directly control.
Today, people can sue stone slab manufacturers and sellers for personal injuries, such as those from silica dust exposure, that result from other companies or people altering their products. If this bill passes, new lawsuits of this type would be blocked, and existing ones would be dismissed by courts, taking effect immediately upon the bill becoming law.
