Defendant
Facts
Charlene Rotandi and Edhi Rotandi filed a class action against Miles Industries Ltd. concerning the glass-fronted fireplace manufactured and distributed by the defendant. Plaintiffs alleged that Miles Industries failed to provide adequate warning to consumers that the sealed glass front gas fireplace surface was susceptible to reaching very high temperatures, which may cause serious burns to the skin.
Result
Without admitting any liability, Miles Industries agreed to settle the matter by providing free barrier screens for the brand of fireplace under dispute, intended to reduce the risk of burns.
