CATrends: Empty Space in Consumer Goods
Lawsuits aren’t giving any slack when it comes to underfilled packages.
In February 2014, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Atlas Roofing Corporation for allegedly misleadingly representing its Atlas Chalet shingles in various marketing materials, including brochures and labels. Specifically, plaintiffs claim that the company expressly represents that its shingles will be “free from manufacturing defects” for 30 years when, in reality, the shingles will blister and crack before 30 years have passed. In addition, the complaint alleges that the company represents that its shingles conform to applicable industry standards and building codes when, in reality, they do not. (Denson et al v. Atlas Roofing Corporation, Case No. 14-cv-00335, N. D. AL.).
