Victaulic has fought multiple lawsuits related to the reliability of the Company's elastomer seals. A $2M settlement with Benson Tower Condominium owners related to the elastomers degradation due to chloramine and temperatures details the issues. "Plaintiff alleges that “the early 1990s, Victaulic was aware that its Victaulic Products were susceptible to failure when exposed to chloramines or other approved and recommended applications and that the failure of the Victaulic Products caused damage to the systems and buildings into which they were installed.” FAC ¶ 78. Specifically, “[before construction of Tower, Victaulic knew that the Victaulic Products would fail when exposed to temperatures far less than 230° Fahrenheit, even though Victaulic represented and approved that the Victaulic Products were acceptable and recommended for use up to 230° F. Victaulic failed to disclose this fact to its consumers, including Plaintiff.”
