• holding that a similar products liability statute of limitations controls over the wrongful death statute of limitations
• holding that a statute that addressed a type *Page 379 of injury caused by a particular source controlled over the general statute addressing all injuries of that type
• holding that the two-year statute of limitation for product liability cases under ORS 30.905(2) controls in wrongful death cases arising from product defects rather than the three-year limitation period for wrongful death actions generally under ORS 30.020
• holding a products liability statute of limitations controls over the wrongful death statute of limitations where “the legislature created a remedy for death caused by a particular source, specifically product defects”
• so noting in context of claim for remedy for death caused by product defect
• statute of limitation applying to claims for death caused by product defects is more specific, and therefore “must control over the more general wrongful death statute of limitations”
