Stutman Law has filed mass tort actions in Federal and State court in California on behalf of 16 insurance carriers to recover on 657 claims totaling in excess of $20 million. Stutman Law’s mass tort unit identified two common defects involving Fluidmaster NO-BURST© supply lines: one causing failures of the supply lines’ plastic coupling nuts, and one resulting in bursting of the supply lines’ water-carrying tubing. These trends were identified several years ago, and as a result, Stutman Law’s insurer clients began to accumulate inventories of these claims. The actions are presently in the early stages of litigation.
