The class action lawsuit claims that defective Pella ProLine brand aluminum-clad wood casement, awning and transom and windows, manufactured between 1991and 2009, leaked and have caused water intrusion resulting in wood rot.
In 2009, the plaintiffs- Kent Eubank, Jerry Davis Ricky Falaschetti, and others- filed a class action lawsuit against Pella Corporation. But Pella denied all the allegations against them stating that there can be many other factors in that wood rot and the rot cannot inevitably evidence that the windows were defective.
The Pella ProLine Casement Window class action lawsuit entitled Eubank, et al. v. Pella Corporation et al. Case No. 06 C4481. It is under review in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District, Illinois, Eastern division.
