The 8th Circuit recently affirmed the grant of summary judgment to the defendant in a proposed class action brought by an Iowa homeowner suing over allegedly defective house trim. See Brown v. La.-Pac. Corp., No. 15-1830, 2016 WL 1425824 (8th Cir. 4/12/16).In 2003, Brown purchased a lot and hired a contractor, who in turn selected defendant's TrimBoard as the product to be installed on Brown's new home.
