Statute of Limitations
Ark. Code Ann. § 16-56-105 provides a 3-year limitations period for personal injury product liability claims — one of the longer windows among U.S. states. The discovery rule applies, postponing the accrual date until the plaintiff knows or reasonably should know that a hernia mesh device caused their injury. No product liability statute of repose applies. Many Arkansas plaintiffs participate in MDL 2846 in S.D. Ohio.
