Learn how to file a claim for fiberon composite decking class action settlement for Noncapped Decking on FiberonSettlement.com.
UK’s renowned company, Fiberon sells beautiful outdoor living products with outstanding performance and quality. Fiberon composite decking and railing materials offer low-maintenance beauty that one can enjoy for years to come, with supreme stain, fade and mold resistance supported by industry first Stain & Fade Warranty. But a group of plaintiffs had filed a class action lawsuit against decking manufacturer Fiberon in 2012 and claimed that some composite decking materials produced and sold by Fiberon had a hidden defect that appeared as dark spots due to mildew, mold or other fungal growth.
First, the company rejected the claim and declared that the problems with the composite decking happened due to the environmental issues, failure to appropriately preserve and clean the decking, or other issues excluded from warranty coverage. But finally, Fiberon agreed to settle the class action lawsuit to keep away from the expenses and doubt of ongoing lawsuit. If you had purchased certain Fiberon, Veranda or Portico decking materials between March 14, 2008 and Sept. 4, 2013, then you are eligible to file a claim and get refund in the form of voucher.
