Louisiana-Pacific Corporation and ABT Building Products Corporation a/k/a ABTCO, Class Action Case No. 2:07-3186-RMG) alleging, among other things, that the trim product supplied by the Defendants, and installed on buildings in certain Counties was and is defective in that a defect causes premature deterioration and other problems, when subjected to normal conditions, purportedly in breach of express and implied warranties, according to the Louisiana-Pacific LP or ABTco TrimBoard, ProTrim or ChoiceTrim class action settlement website and settlement notice.

The Class does not include people who asked to be excluded prior to February 11, 2011.

The proposed Louisiana-Pacific LP or ABTco TrimBoard, ProTrim or ChoiceTrim class action lawsuit settlement reportedly provides for, among other things, that Defendants will provide a claims process to compensate Class Members for damaged TrimBoard that is still on the structure.
