Defective Windows
Our firm along with co-counsel is currently prosecuting a class action lawsuit against Pella Corporation and Pella Windows and Doors, Inc. involving ProLine aluminum-clad windows. The central allegation we’re pursuing is that Pella's ProLine windows contain an inherent design defect that allows water to enter the window sash, causing wood rot and necessitating costly window replacement. Architect and Designer Series Pella windows may also be involved. Because of the windows’ design, any wood rot may be concealed by the aluminum cladding. As a result, homeowners may not discover the problems with Pella windows until it has reached an advanced stage, requiring replacement of the entire window and frame.
The Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has upheld the trial court’s class certification ruling.
