Ohio HB126 prohibits public nuisance actions related to product design, manufacture, and sale.
Ohio HB126 amends the state's Revised Code to prohibit public nuisance claims or causes of action at common law related to the design, manufacture, supply, marketing, distribution, promotion, advertising, labeling, or sale of a product. This bill codifies the Ohio Supreme Court's holding in In re National Prescription Opiate Litigation, which abrogated certain public nuisance claims. The bill aims to prevent claims that unreasonably interfere with a right common to the general public.
