I get shielding businesses from frivolous suits, but are we also silencing genuine claims? There’s a tough balance here.

Maybe manufacturers shouldn’t be liable for what third parties do, but where’s the accountability for those actually fabricating these products? Good luck protecting everyone fairly.

Stop penalizing the makers for the reckless actions of others; this protects jobs and commerce, not just stone slabs.

Finally, some common sense! Manufacturers can’t babysit every cutter and grinder down the line.

Protecting stone suppliers from lawsuits? Sounds like a corporate get-out-of-jail-free card while workers choke on silica dust.

When you block injured workers from court, the real danger isn’t dust—it’s injustice served cold.

Let’s not drown businesses in lawsuits for stuff they don’t control — freedom to trade matters more than slippery lawsuits.

This feels like a band-aid on a bigger workplace safety problem — stopping lawsuits doesn’t stop silica exposure.

This bill lets big corporations wash their hands of worker safety — who’s really paying the price? Shameful to sacrifice lives for stone slabs.
