Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca LLP

Zurn Plumbing Products Litigation

In re Zurn Pex Plumbing Products Liability Litigation, Civil Action No. 08-CV-1681 (D. MN), MDL No. 1958 (U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota; Panel on Multidistrict Litigation) We filed a lawsuit against Zurn Pex, Inc. and Zurn Industries LLP on behalf of a proposed nationwide class of property owners with a defective Zurn Plumbing system with cross-linked Pex tubing and brass fittings. The Zurn Plumbing System is subject to failure, causing severe damage to homes, offices and other buildings. The Zurn Plumbing System was designed to carry tap water as well as in-floor hot water heating systems. Brass fittings used to connect lengths of pipe are particularly prone to leaking, resulting in water damage that eventually requires removal and/or replacement of the entire Zurn Plumbing System. The lawsuit alleges that Zurn misrepresented the Zurn Plumbing System as "worry free" and Zurn refuses to honor its purported 25-year warranty. The plaintiff and the class are seeking a declaratory judgment that Zurn is liable for all cost of removing and replacing the Zurn Plumbing System, as well as other related consequential damage that resulted from defective brass fitting that have failed.
