What if a defective product caused the burn?
A products liability action against a manufacturer or seller generally must be brought within 15 years after the defendant sold the product, in addition to the ordinary two-year deadline (CPRC §16.012(b); §16.003). The 15-year rule covers claims on any theory — strict liability, negligence, warranty — for personal injury and wrongful death (§16.012(a)(2)).
