The Issue
A.O. Smith water heaters, including retail models commonly sold at major stores, are often equipped with plastic drain valves instead of brass.
Consumers and plumbers report that these valves can crack, leak, or fail shortly after normal use. This issue may mirror another class action, where plastic drain valves were alleged to be defectively designed and unsafe.
Please sign up below if you purchased an A.O. Smith water heater that had a defective valve. Eligible individuals may be entitled to financial compensation.

Why Join a Class Action Lawsuit?
A class action lawsuit helps consumers maintain the rights and privileges that are afforded by the laws of their state. A successful case could also put an end to any illegal practices. This is our main goal to ensure that the public isn't subjected to unethical and illegal practices by big companies who think they can get away with it.
Further, some states may allow for the collection of statutory damages – which means that, in a successful case, the consumer may be entitled to an additional award under the law.
We are pressing forward quickly with this class action case. Act now to become a part of this case and qualify for compensation.
If you do request to join, you can expect to hear back from an attorney for a consultation to determine if you qualify to join the class action lawsuit.
If the plastic drain valve on an A.O. Smith water heater leaked or caused damage, homeowners may be entitled to compensation.
Class Action FAQ:
Q1: Will this cost me any money?
A1: No. Attorneys in class actions only get paid if they win. And the company we are suing foots our bill.
Q2: What do I gain from signing up for this case?
A2: The goal of this case is to hold companies accountable for their bad behavior, and you can help. If the case succeeds, judges usually award class representatives $1,000 - $10,000.
But if you are just doing it for the money, you aren’t the right candidate for us. We are looking for class representatives who are looking for justice, not easy cash.
