Gentek Defective Siding Class Action Lawsuit

By Kimberly Mirando

 

GentekUnhappy customers claim in a federal class action lawsuit that Gentek Building Products and its parent company Associated Materials sell defective steel siding and fail to honor a lifetime warranty.

The Gentek class action lawsuit claims the company’s siding warps, cracks, buckles, flakes, peels, splits, discolors and deteriorates. In some cases, the lawsuit continues, the siding even breaks and falls off the building.

The Gentek class action lawsuit further claims the siding defects allow moisture to penetrate the building, leading to damage.

Gentek purports to have a “Lifetime Warranty” on the siding, but ignores warranty claims on the defective siding, the class action lawsuit continues.

The Gentek defective siding class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of anyone who has bought Gentek siding since 1986. It is seeking actual and punitive damages for breach of warranty and violations of the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act. It is also asking that Gentek be ordered to establish an inspection program and protocol.
