The U.S. government conducted its own intensive three-year investigation of JM Eagle's products and quality-control processes and declined to join the case in February.
"We are gratified that Indiana was not persuaded by the dishonest pressure campaign directed at states by the plaintiff's contingency-fee law firm," says Neal Gordon, JM Eagle's VP of marketing. "We are confident that as more states and local governments learn about the facts of the case, they also will see no benefit in intervening in this baseless, frivolous lawsuit."
JM Eagle operates 22 manufacturing plants throughout North America, manufacturing a wide array of high-grade, high-performance PVC and HDPE pipe across a variety of industries and applications including utility, solvent weld, electrical conduit, natural gas, irrigation, potable water and sewage.—[email protected]
