Deadline for submitting a Claim Form in order to receive benefits from the Bonsal, Continental, Dryvit, and Parex Settlements is January 17, 2003.
The Spencer Class POLYBUTELENE SETTLEMENT covered PLASTIC FITTINGS ONLY and has been terminated.
The Spencer Class website has been closed.
Water Heaters manufactured between 1993 & 1997 had diptubes that dissolved over time and you found white plastic remnants in your lines and either clogged some lines or restricted water flow in your home. The class action lawsuit against the manufacturers using plastic diptubes has expired and no class-action remedies are available. However, individual lawsuits are still a recourse. Please consult an attorney or attempt to file a claim in small claims court.
NOTE: There may be other home warranty service providers, but I have only seen warranty plans from these companies.
