The President announced the veto was sustained.
June 1, 1982
The Honorable James Clark, Jr.
President of the Senate
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404
Dear Mr. President:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the
Maryland Constitution, I have today vetoed Senate Bill 625.
This bill provides a defense to a product liability
action against a seller for property damage or personal
injury caused by the defective design or manufacture of a
product. The seller must establish that the product was
sold or leased in a sealed container or in an unaltered
form; that he had no knowledge or way to discover the
defect.
House Bill 1067, which was passed by the General
Assembly and signed by me on June 1, 1982, accomplishes the
same purpose. Therefore, it is not necessary for me to sign
Senate Bill 625.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor
