Product Liability Laws in Mississippi.

Applies to all non-medical-malpractice civil actions including product liability.

Comprehensive statute governing product liability claims. Requires proof that the product (1) was defective in manufacture, design, or warning; (2) was unreasonably dangerous when it left the manufacturer's control; and (3) proximately caused the injury.

Design defect requires proof that a feasible alternative design existed and would have prevented or significantly reduced the risk. The feasibility consideration weighs cost, utility, and risk.

Sellers who did not design or manufacture a product are immune from design/manufacturing-defect claims if they did not exercise substantial control, did not alter the product, did not have actual knowledge of the defect, and did not make an independent warranty.
