CPVC Manufacturers Product Update

Florida Lawsuit seeking Class Action status has been dismissed
You may be aware of a recent federal lawsuit that was filed on behalf of a class of Florida condo associations and building owners, against many members of the fire sprinkler industry, alleging BlazeMaster® pipe defects. As you will recall, the plaintiff’s counsel made several predictions in media channels, press conferences and releases about the impact this suit would have on the non-metallic fire protection industry.
4 things you need to know: 
1. The class action lawsuit, which was filed by lawyers at the firms of Colson Hicks and Siegfried Rivera, was dismissed very early in the proceedings, without a class being certified
2. The lawsuit was not settled. It was dismissed against all members of the fire sprinkler industry
3. With the voluntary dismissal of the lawsuit, the plaintiff’s counsel’s press campaign and claims of a possible billion dollar verdict against the fire sprinkler industry have amounted to sensationalism 
4. Our position has been and continues to be that properly installed and maintained BlazeMaster pipe and fittings provide safe and reliable fire protection.
