Certainteed fiber cement class action law suit

[sssiding]

Has anybody had product failure with CT fiber cement? If so what was the outcome and did CT back their product?

[Bill Robinson]

And you are?????

Please fill in your profile and tell us a bit more about yourself.
Are you a licensed fisherperson or unlicensed?

fisherperson?

[dgbldr]

Well, you didn't give a first name or gender, so Bill didn't know if he should call you a fisherman or fisherwoman.

And the only method we practice is catch and release.

Not clear on what it is you are looking for.
The wording in your post has the appearance of a fishing expedition, where you are looking for something but not being forthcoming about it.

be more specific and you might get a better response.

Are you maybe an attorney looking for a suit?
Are you a contractor looking to join a suit?

Are you simply fishing.

Any fish 'll bite if you got good bait.

Joe Corolla nailed it, California does have a class action against CertainTeed. This is much like the class actions against Hardie roofing products:

In the past, concrete shingles were made with asbestos fibers that served to increase their strength and durability. Due to serious health concerns caused by asbestos, manufacturers were forced to find an alternate way to simulate these benefits. The alternative became wood "cellulose" fibers. While wood fibers initially did a good job of adding strength and durability to concrete shingles, many soon revealed their alleged fatal flaw. When it rains, unprotected wood fibers attract and hold water. As the temperature changes, the fibers expand and contract separating the shingle back into thin brittle layers.¹

When asbestos was prohibited the fibercement products should have been entirely discontinued, instead of being reformulated with wood fiber.
