Leaking Hoses
Knoxville, TN: (Dec-05-07) A lawsuit was brought against Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, alleging that the company manufactured a defective product, prone to leaking when used under normal conditions. Several US property owners filed complaints claiming that a particular rubber hose, known as Entran II, orange and stamped with the name Heatway or Heatway Systems, was prone to leaking when used under normal conditions. The hose is found near the boiler or hot water source in most homes, it is put in floors or driveways to carry fluid to provide warmth and melt snow. Entran II was mainly sold and/or installed between 1989 and1995. Company officials stated that the allegations were false and that the hose was produced according to the agreed specifications.
As part of a settlement reached, the company agreed to pay $324 million to resolve claims. Sources stated that eligible property owners, which include current and former US property owners with radiant heating or snow melting systems that use the hose, may receive a payment of tens of thousands of dollars, but need to file a claim no later than November 17, 2009.
