Liability for Death Caused By Rehabbed Home

Scenario: You buy a house after it there was a death in it due to accidental fentanyl exposure. You get the house remediated by a hazmat service and the city gives it an "all-clear". You remodel the house and sell it. At some point down the line, one of the occupants is exposed to fentanyl (maybe through doing demo work) and dies. 

Question: For how long does the seller of the rehab house have liability for anything happening to a person in the house caused by drug exposure?

You would assume the insurance company for the company that declared it was safe would be paying when the company making the guarantee was sued. As long as you disclosed it had happened. You then relied on bonded and insured experts who said it was safe.
