Mississippi Defective Product Attorneys
At DearLegal, we connect you with experienced Mississippi defective product attorneys who understand the Mississippi Product Liability Act (Miss.

We’ll match you with the right attorney at no cost to get started.
Why Do You Need a Defective Product Attorney in Mississippi?
Mississippi enacted the Mississippi Product Liability Act (MPLA) in 1993, codified at Miss. Code § 11-1-63. The MPLA covers manufacturing, design, failure-to-warn, and breach-of-warranty claims and is the exclusive remedy for products causing damage. Mississippi adopted pure comparative fault under Miss. Code § 11-7-15 — recovery reduced by plaintiff’s fault percentage with no bar. The 3-year statute of limitations runs under Miss. Code § 15-1-49. Mississippi has no general products statute of repose. The MPLA includes a non-manufacturer "sealed container" defense and a state-of-the-art defense. Historically, Mississippi was a major mass-tort jurisdiction before 2004 tort reform, but it still hosts significant asbestos, pharma, and herbicide litigation.
