Statute of Limitations
Missouri Revised Statutes § 516.120 provides a 5-year statute of limitations for product liability claims — among the longest in the United States. The discovery rule applies. Missouri's statute of repose (RSMo § 516.097) bars claims more than 10 years after first sale of the product. Missouri follows pure comparative fault — recovery is never completely barred by plaintiff fault. St. Louis City has been a significant plaintiff-favorable mass tort venue.
5 years from discovery — among the most generous in the US; 10-year repose
