Amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow an income tax deduction to business enterprises engaged in the manufacture, importation, distribution, lease, or sale of products for which such businesses may incur product liability for contributions to their product liability loss reserve accounts and for amounts paid to captive insurers (wholly or partially-owned by such businesses) for product liability insurance. Requires that such businesses demonstrate difficulty in obtaining product liability insurance at reasonable rates.
Disallows any deductions for product liability losses which do not exceed the sum of the total trust funds in the taxpayer's account at the beginning of the taxable year plus the amount of deductible payments made by the taxpayer to the account during such year.
Imposes penalties for the improper use of product liability reserve funds.
