Santa Monica, CA: on January 28, 2011, the Honorable Mark Johnson, Judge of the California Superior Court for Riverside County entered an Order in litigation against ATI preliminarily approving a proposed class action settlement.
The litigation involves ATI windows. Plaintiffs allege that there are defects in ATI windows and sliding doors that cause them to leak and breach implied warranties. ATI denies plaintiffs allegations. If you are a Class Member, you have the following three choices: 1) participate in the settlement; 2) do not participate in the settlement; or 3) object to the settlement. Please be advised if class members do not submit a timely request for exclusion, they will not be allowed to exclude themselves from the Class, and they will be bound by the judgment in this case.
You are a Class Member if you are a current homeowner from 1995 through present whose building presently contains an ATI window Product. The Settlement Class does not include such homeowners who have already released their claims in prior lawsuits or homeowners who request exclusion or "opt out" from the Settlement.
