MI SB0410

Amends MCL 600.2946 to make evidence of compliance with generally recognized and prevailing nongovernmental standards at the time of product sale admissible in product liability actions.

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

Restricts admissibility of post-event knowledge, theories, or procedures as evidence to only proving feasibility of precautions (if disputed) or impeachment purposes.

Creates a rebuttable presumption that manufacturers or sellers are not liable if the product aspect causing harm was in compliance with relevant federal or state safety standards or agency regulations at the time of initial sale.

Specifies that noncompliance with safety standards does not create a presumption of negligence, and evidence of compliance with unrelated standards is inadmissible.
