If articles of organization, articles of amendment, a notice of winding up, or a notice of merger or consolidation filed pursuant to sections 347.010 to 347.187 contains a false statement, one who suffers loss by good faith reliance on such statement may recover damages for the loss from the limited liability company and from the person or persons who executed such document, or caused another to execute it on his behalf, knowing the statement to be false at the time such document was executed.
