If you really need to, then you can use the mediator trick.

In your ViewModel

 val sourceProduct: LiveData() = repository.productFromDao()
 val product = MutableLiveData()

 val mediator = MediatorLiveData()

 init {
      mediator.addSource(sourceProduct, { product.value = it })
 }

In fragment/activity

observe(mediator, {})
observe(product, { //handle product })
