In Tanges v. Heidelberg North America, Inc., 93 N.Y.2d 48 (1999) after sustaining injuries from operating a printing press in Connecticut, a New York resident commenced an action against the printing press manufacturer. The Court of Appeals affirmed that, upon a choice of law analysis, Connecticut law governed. Therefore, Connecticut's statute of repose barred the action. In Tanges, Connecticut is only the locus state. In Tanges, the Court of Appeals held that the Connecticut statute of repose which prohibits an action from being brought against any party "later than ten years from the date the party last parted with possession or control of the product" constituted a substantive law (see, Connecticut General Statute 52-577[a]).
