Pella Windows Litigation: ProLine, Architect and Designer Series Windows

Complex Litigation Group LLC is lead counsel in a certified class action lawsuit against Pella Corporation and Pella Windows and Doors, Inc. involving "ProLine" aluminum clad windows. A copy of the Pella Complaint can be found by clicking here. (7). Pella's ProLine windows contain an alleged design defect that allows water to enter the window sash, causing wood rot and necessitating costly window replacement. Because of the ProLine window's design, any wood rot is usually concealed by the aluminum cladding. As a result, homeowners may not discover the problems with Pella ProLine windows until it has reached an advanced stage, requiring replacement of the entire window and frame.

On May 20, 2010, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (which is the federal appellate court based in Chicago) affirmed the class certification granted by United States District Judge James B. Zagel against Pella Corporation. The court's order covers Pella's ProLine series of windows, which suffer from a design flaw that has resulted in widespread failures. The class action also covers the "250 Series" and "450 Series" windows sold through major retailers such as Lowe's.

The Appellate Court's Opinion affirming class certification is published at 606 F.3d 391 (7^th Cir. 2010) and can be found by clicking here. (8). On January 18, 2011, the United States Supreme Court denied Pella's appeal. A copy of that letter Order can be found by clicking here. (9)

Complex Litigation Group LLC is continuing its investigation and prosecution of Pella's Architect and Designer Series windows, which are part of the original lawsuit. If you own Architect or Designer Series windows and have wood rot problems with them, please contact us at Info@ComplexLitGroup.com.
