Atlas Chalet Shingles

December 2013: The lawsuits listed below and several others were transferred to a multidistrict litigation to be heard together. (In Re: Atlas Roofing Corporation Chalet Shingle Products Liability Litigation, MDL: Case No. 2495, Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation; Lead Docket: Case No. 13md2495, N. D. GA.)

2013: Two class-action lawsuits were filed against Atlas Roofing Corporation alleging that the company misleadingly advertises the Atlas Chalet Shingles in various marketing materials. Specifically, both complaints allege that the company expressly represents the roofing shingles will last 30 years when, according to the plaintiffs, they will blister and crack before 30 years have passed. In addition, plaintiffs claim the company represents that the shingles meet applicable building and industry codes when, in reality, they do not. To see the Alabama complaint, click here.
