Case ID: 2740 | Consumer Products | 08/30/2004
A class action has been filed against Temple-Inland, Inc., a manufacturer of composite hardwood siding for residences and other structures, on behalf of all Missouri residents whose homes or buildings have been fitted with siding manufactured by Temple-Inland. The action claims that the siding is defective. The plaintiffs seek disgorgement of profits, a full refund for the cost of the product and compensation for the replacement of the siding.
The action claims that the siding manufactured by Temple-Inland was defective in that over time, under normal circumstances, the hardboard buckles, shrinks, waves, rots, discolors, deteriorates and promotes fungal growth. This deterioration allegedly leads to reduced value of residences and structures and out-of-pocket expenses to be incurred by homeowners. The action further claims that Temple-Inland was fully aware of the allegedly shoddy quality of the hardwood siding, but continued to manufacture it and sell it. The class alleges that this constitutes fraud, negligence, unfair trade practices, a breach of implied and express warranties, and a violation of Missouri's merchandising practices act. This case was originally filed in Missouri state court, but was removed to federal court by Temple-Inland.
