Were you forced to overpay for PVC pipes because of an alleged price-fixing scheme?
The law firms FeganScott and Douglas & London PC are leading a class-action lawsuit alleging that several major U.S. PVC pipe manufacturers – which control 90 percent of the market – used an industry information exchange platform to communicate about and coordinate the price for PVC pipes.

The lawsuit seeks to represent local public water systems and municipal wastewater collection and treatment authorities nationwide that purchased PVC pipes manufactured by the defendants – Atkore, Diamond Plastics, JM Eagle, National Pipe and Plastics, Otter Tail, IPEX, and Westlake Corporation.

“These PVC manufacturers knew that Opis, a popular industry exchange platform, was only accessible to subscribers, meaning public water suppliers and sewer authorities had no insight into competitor price information. The manufacturers colluded to artificially raise prices for their PVC products and while they collected historic profits, the public water systems and sewer authorities – and their taxpayers – suffered.”
– Elizabeth Fegan, managing partner of FeganScott and one of the attorneys leading the suit
