You are NOT allowed to sue because a third party misuses the product
There are NO car manufacturers successfully sued because they were
harmed from driver negligence, error or even criminal use.
Ditto for ANY other product that were used in such a way.


Slight correction: You ARE allowed to sue. Anybody for anything. Generally.
That's why the federal law was passed; to prevent nuisance lawsuits. Or
emotionally-involved juries. Or rogue judges.

FINDINGS:
(7) The liability actions commenced or contemplated by the Federal
Government, States, municipalities, and private interest groups and others
are based on theories without foundation in hundreds of years of the common
law and jurisprudence of the United States and do not represent a bona fide
expansion of the common law. The possible sustaining of these actions by a
maverick judicial officer or petit jury would expand civil liability in a
manner never contemplated by the framers of the Constitution, by Congress,
or by the legislatures of the several States.
