Statute of Limitations
Minnesota Statutes § 541.05 provides a 4-year statute of limitations for product liability claims — one of the longest periods among U.S. states. The discovery rule applies. Minnesota has no statute of repose for product liability claims, making it an extremely favorable state for hernia mesh claimants with older or late-discovered complications. Minnesota follows modified comparative fault with a 51% bar.
4 years from discovery — no statute of repose
