Instant Soup Burns Lawsuit in Missouri

Statute of Limitations

Missouri has a 5-year statute of limitations for personal injury and product liability claims (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 516.120). The 5-year SOL is unusually long — one of the most generous in the nation. For minor victims, Mo. Rev. Stat. § 516.170 tolls the SOL during minority. Missouri has no product liability statute of repose, providing full plaintiff protection throughout the SOL period.
