Evans v. Lasco Bathware
Plaintiffs Roy Evans and Arthea LaFrades (together plaintiffs) each owned homes in which shower pans manufactured by defendant Lasco Bathware, Inc. (Lasco) were installed. Plaintiffs' action against Lasco alleged the shower pans suffered from design defects that resulted in water leakage, and the leakage caused damage to adjacent building components. Plaintiffs' fourth amended complaint (FAC), styled as a proposed class action lawsuit, alleged two causes of action against Lasco: a claim for strict products liability, and a claim for negligence. The present appeal challenges the trial court order denying class certification. Plaintiffs assert the trial court abused its discretion when it denied their motion for class certification.
