We read the supreme court’s affir-mance in Phelps as consistent with the substantial body of Minnesota law permitting punitive damages for deliberate or willful indifference to the rights or safety of others and as limiting the language in Keene to products-liability actions. Thus, Keene stands for the proposition that “[ajbsent personal injury, a party injured by a product may not recover punitive damages.” Keene, 511 N.W.2d at 728 (emphasis added).
