STIMSON LUMBER: WA Forestex Settlement Notification Initiated A Court-ordered
notification has been initiated in order to inform property owners in the western
United States about a proposed settlement of a class action lawsuit about Forestex
hardboard siding manufactured by Stimson Lumber Company (titled Gardner v. Stimson
Lumber Company, No. 00-2-17633-3SEA). The settlement is being overseen by Judge
Mary I. Yu of the Superior Court of Washington, in and for King County. The settlement
includes all those who have owned or own property on which Forestex siding has
been incorporated or installed in the states of Washington, Oregon, California,
Idaho, Utah, Colorado, and Hawaii since January 1, 1985. The settlement will pay
all qualified claims for specific kinds of siding damage, including certain thickness
swelling, edge checking, buckling, warping, softness, wax bleed, delamination,
and welting. Notices are scheduled to appear in newspaper supplements and regional
editions of magazines, as well as mailed to those with known addresses, leading
up to a court hearing on November 12, 2004, when the Court will consider whether
to approve the settlement. Those affected by the settlement can object to any
part of it by November 5, 2004. Later, more notices will appear on TV telling
those included how they may get claim forms. Forestex hardboard siding - made
to look like conventional wood siding - was made until 1997 from wood fiber, wax,
and resins, in both lap (board) and panel (sheet) styles. Forestex siding has
a stamp on the back with the number AHA 05. After the settlement is approved,
a claims process will begin and claim forms will be issued to those who request
them now. Payment amounts will be determined by a formula that takes into account
siding damage in relation to wall size, siding square footage, the age of the
siding, and whether it was properly installed. Payments will vary but could provide
money to replace some or all of the siding on a wall or an entire home. For more
details, contact Forestex Claims by Mail: P.O. Box 1371, Minneapolis, MN 55440-1371
