Welcome to the PABCO HO-25/HZ-25 Roof Shingle Class Action Settlement Website

Overview

On May 5, 2006, the Court preliminarily approved a settlement of a class action lawsuit affecting current or former owners of homes or other structures on which PABCO HO-25 or HZ-25 Roof Shingles have been installed. The Court approved the Settlement at the final Fairness Hearing on September 15, 2006.

The lawsuit, which the settlement resolves, claimed that PABCO HO-25 and HZ-25 Roof Shingles installed and incorporated on structures are defective and will exhibit fissures or crazing (surface cracking in random directions), or otherwise deteriorate or fail, and may cause leaks and/or property damage to roofs and structures. PABCO vigorously denies that it has done anything wrong and disputes each of Plaintiffs’ claims.
