Eppsteiner & Fiorica Clients Win Class Certification:

All California Homeowners with Viking Series 3000 Aluminum Windows will be presented in Class Action Lawsuit

The Viking Series 3000 aluminum windows are the subject of a California class action against Viking Industries, a Pella Corporation subsidiary. The case involves 1.2 million Viking Series 3000 windows sold from 1989 through 1999. The plaintiff homeowners claim that the lower corners of the horizontal sliding, vertical hung and fixed Viking Series 3000 windows are defective and leak.

In declarations it filed with the Court, Viking’s expert’s admitted that 43% of the Series 3000 windows they tested leaked. The Plaintiff homeowners found that 61% of these windows leak. Projecting Viking’s own test results onto the 1.2 million population, Viking itself projects that 516,000 of its windows leak.

Notice to class members will be published and mailed shortly. Viking did not have a mailing list of all California Series 3000 window owners as their windows were sold through Home Depot, Home Base and Yardbirds.

“Windows are an important product. They are not supposed to leak and can cause serious damage when they do. Viking sold these windows with a Lifetime Warranty. We offered Viking an opportunity to replace the windows, it rejected that offer so this lawsuit is needed to give the homeowners the defect free products they were promised.” said Attorney Stuart Eppsteiner.
