A 15-year statute of repose (§ 82.005) bars claims for products manufactured more than 15 years before the injury, unless the manufacturer explicitly warranted a longer useful life. The two-year statute of limitations (§ 16.003) applies from the date of injury. Comparative fault (Chapter 33) applies. Punitive damages are available for egregious corporate conduct.
