A common plumbing component found in many homes across the United States has been causing some individuals to suffer thousands of dollars in damages to their home.
This device is known as the Fluidmaster No-Burst Toilet Connector, and it consists of a connector hose that attaches to the tank of the toilet using a plastic coupling nut. Sold with a 10-year warranty, this product has failed when the coupling nut is subjected to the typical amount of force used for installation.
When the coupling nut fails, water can flow unrestricted into the home, causing significant damage. For those who happened to be away at the time the connector had burst, they were often greeted at home with inches of standing water.
Thousands of warranty claims and at least one Fluidmaster toilet connector class action lawsuit have already been filed against Fluidmaster by homeowners who have gone on to experience significant property damage as a result of the allegedly defective product.
In one such complaint, a man filed a Fluidmaster toilet connector class action lawsuit against the company alleging that its defective product caused him and many other homeowners to suffer property damage that cost hundreds to thousands of dollars.
Plaintiff Steven Larson filed his Fluidmaster toilet connector class action lawsuit in Illinois federal court as part of the multidistrict litigation that is currently underway against Fluidmaster.
Larson’s lawsuit, like many others filed in the multidistrict litigation, alleges that Fluidmaster knew that its products were prone to failure, and that as early as 2003, the company knew of a safer alternative design that was not prone to having the device burst.
“Rather than replace these defective Toilet Connectors, Fluidmaster concealed and suppressed its knowledge of these defects, exposing Plaintiff and the putative Classes to a substantial risk of significant property damage,” the Fluidmaster toilet connector class action lawsuit reads.
On behalf of himself and the class, Larson brings several causes of action in his Fluidmaster toilet connector class action lawsuit including claims for breach of express and implied warranties.
In addition to seeking Class certification, the plaintiff is seeking to “stop the unlawful, unfair and deceptive conduct alleged herein and/or notify the Equitable Relief Class members about the Toilet Connector defects at Fluidmaster’s expense, and to replace all defective Toilet Connectors.”
Larson is also seeking damages to be determined at the time of trial, attorneys’ fees and costs and any additional relief as deemed just, equitable and proper by the Court.
The Fluidmaster Toilet Connector Class Action Lawsuit is Steven Larson et al. v. Fluidmaster, Inc., Case No. 1:14-cv-10222, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division.
