HB 102 Original 2025 Regular Session Schlegel
Abstract: Adds "digital products" to the La. Products Liability Act.
Present law (R.S. 9:2800.53(3)) defines "product" as a corporeal movable that is manufactured for
placement into trade or commerce, including a product that forms a component part of or that is
subsequently incorporated into another product or an immovable. The definition does not include
human blood, blood components, human organs, human tissue, or approved animal tissue to the
extent governed by present law.
Proposed law retains present law but expands the application of the La. Products Liability Act to
include "digital products".
Proposed law defines a "digital product" as any digital application or game that is accessed via
computer, mobile device, gaming console, or tablet through electronic means. The definition does
not impose liability upon a manufacturer solely for the hosting of third-party content which may be
exempted under 47 U.S.C. ยง230.
(Amends R.S. 9:2800.53(3); Adds R.S. 9:2800.53(10))
