We have filed four lawsuits in federal district courts across the country against FieldTurf USA, Inc. on behalf of school districts alleging this company defrauded customers by knowingly selling defective artificial turf sports fields, which were paid for using taxpayer’s money.  On June 1, 2017 the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued an order consolidating and transferring all cases filed against FieldTurf to Judge Shipp in the District of New Jersey for all pre-trial proceedings.  These consolidated proceedings have been assigned MDL No. 2779. A copy of the Transfer Order can be found here.

Ross, United States District Court Judge for the Northern District of Georgia, issued a Final Order and Judgment approving a $14,000,000 settlement of this class action against Floor & Décor Outlets of America, Inc.  On April 17, 2017 settlement benefits were distributed to the Settlement Class Members.  For more information, visit www.fdsettlement.com.
