Blocks lawsuits against stone slab makers for worker injuries from silica dust during third-party cutting.
This bill would prevent lawsuits against companies that make or sell stone slab products (like countertops). This applies if people get sick from silica dust during cutting by another company. It would also dismiss any similar lawsuits already in progress. As a result, individuals harmed by silica exposure during third-party fabrication could no longer sue these manufacturers or sellers for damages.
Today, people can sue manufacturers and sellers of stone slab products for injuries like silicosis caused by silica dust during third-party fabrication. If this bill becomes law, new lawsuits of this type would be prohibited in Federal and State courts, and any existing lawsuits would be dismissed.
