MI HB6225

Amends section 2946 of the Revised Judicature Act of 1961 regarding product liability actions and evidence standards for manufacturing compliance with nongovernmental standards at time of sale.

Changes language from "shall be" to "is" in the statute regarding admissibility of evidence that product production complied with generally recognized and prevailing nongovernmental standards.

Establishes that manufacturers or sellers are not liable for production defects unless plaintiff proves the product was not reasonably safe and that a practical, technically feasible alternative production practice was available at the time of sale.

Creates a rebuttable presumption that manufacturers or sellers are not liable if the product aspect causing harm was in compliance with federal or state standards or approved by federal or state agencies at time of sale.

Repeals section 2946(5), which previously provided immunity from liability for FDA-approved drugs that complied with FDA approval at the time of manufacturer release, with limited exceptions for intentional withholding of information or illegal payments to FDA officials.
