Uponor Defective Product Class Action
This is a proposed class action against Uponor, Inc., docketed as a property damage product liability case. The docket text indicates that the defendant sought to compel arbitration or dismiss or strike class allegations, and the plaintiff later filed a voluntary dismissal without prejudice. The allegations are not detailed in the docket text, but the case appears to concern a product defect causing property damage; these are allegations in a newly filed case and are not proven facts.
