IANAL but I think the answer for US single-member LLCs is that if you were ever to actually say, cause 100k of damage to somebody else's property through the actions of your single-person LLC and they were to take you to court, the judge would quickly find that the liability passes through to you, so it's not really all that different from a sole proprietorship (aka just doing business as yourself) in that regard.

In the US you’re responsible for your own personal actions regardless of LLC existence or not.
If you’re selling a product, the LLC should protect you from liability caused by the product. (With many caveats)
But the LLC won’t protect you from your personal actions
