A major lawsuit was filed by the Federal Government and several municipalities against JM Eagle, one of the leading manufacturers of pvc pipe. The lawsuit alleges that JM Eagle knowingly sold pvc pipe that does not meet minimum strength specifications and that the pvc pipe will wear out prematurely.
Why is this important? The pvc pipelines utilized by the Federal Government and municipalities carry large amounts of water. If they leak, there is a potential for significant property damage. For example, leaking water lines cause flood damage, landslide and subsidence damage, just to name a few. This could be a serious problem and this is a lawsuit to keep an eye on. U.S. v. J-M Manufacturing Co, Inc., CV 06-55 (C.D. Cal).
