Uponor Polyethylene PEX Tubing Failure – Class Action Investigation

Ahdoot & Wolfson is investigating a potential class action against Uponor following reports that its polyethylene PEX plumbing tubing is prone to degradation and premature failure.

PEX tubing is ubiquitous in plumbing these days and often comes in red and blue coloring (denoting hot and cold lines). Public reporting and consumer complaints indicate that Uponor’s manufacturing processes to create PEX tubing entails certain heating procedures that may jeopardize and damage the tubing it manufactures. As a result, its PEX plumbing tubing may prematurely fail.

Failing plumbing tubing presents a serious concern, as holes or splitting of PEX line can result in water leaking or intrusion into homes and other structures and cause water damage and flooding. When PEX tubing fails, it is often hours or days before homeowners realize the leaking, meaning that the damage can be great and can require tens of thousands of dollars to repair the damage.

Ahdoot & Wolfson is interested in speaking with consumers who have Uponor PEX tubing installed in their homes or other structures and have experienced leaking, flooding, or other PEX tubing failure. Please fill out the form below, and our firm will contact you for a free consultation.
