When measures are taken that would have made an earlier injury or harm less likely to occur, evidence of the subsequent measures is not admissible to prove negligence, culpable conduct, a defect in a product or its design or a need for a warning or instruction. However, a court may admit such evidence for another purpose, such
as impeachment or, if disputed, proving ownership, control, or feasibility of precautionary measures. Added by Laws 1978, c. 285, § 407, eff. Oct. 1, 1978. Amended by Laws 1991, c. 62, § 2, eff. Sept. 1, 1991; Laws 2012, c. 99, § 1, eff. July 1, 2012.
