Summary

Prohibits any court in a product liability action from issuing an order forbidding disclosure of discovered information relevant to product safety to: (1) any Government agency with responsibility for such product; and (2) any attorney representing a client with a similar product liability action. Conditions such disclosures on the Government agency's having procedures, and on the agreement of such attorneys to appropriate court orders, which prevent unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets to the public.
