“I thank the Senator for that explanation. My final question is whether the owner or operator of a product, such as a tank which contains oil, who is sued following an environmental accident may sue the manufacturer of the ship or tank under a product liability cause of action without limitation by this bill if it was product failure that caused the damage to the environment? My concern is that the equipment operator will be unable to recover fully from the manufacturer. Ultimately, the original plaintiff may only be able to recover to the extent that the operator is able to recover.”
