Creates the Product Seller Liability Act. Provides that no civil claim or action based on any legal theory for harm of any kind caused by a product may be maintained or commenced against a product seller unless the product seller: (1) manufactured, produced, or designed the product; or (2) altered, modified, assembled, or failed to maintain the product in a manner that caused the claimant's harm.
