CHICAGO (Legal Newsline) - Neil Stevens filed a federal class action complaint on November 5 in the Northern District of Illinois against Rust-Oleum Corporation over acrylic coating products.
According to the complaint, Rust-Oleum’s water-based acrylic coating products marketed as Rust-Oleum RockSolid 2X, 6X, 20X, and Deck Start Wood Primer are marketed and sold under the brand "RockSolid." Stevens alleges that the products are defective and prone to failure as the products prematurely degrade, chip, bubble, peel, flake, strip, and otherwise deteriorate, failing to provide the advertised protection to the decks, patios, and other structures.
Stevens alleges this makes the advertising, marketing and sale of the product in violation of multiple laws, in addition to being fraudulent.
Stevens is represented by Katrina Carroll of Lynch Carpenter LLP.
