CHICAGO (Legal Newsline) – A paint supplier is being sued in federal court over allegations its product is defective and degrades even after using the paint correctly.

David and Kathleen Sullivan filed the class action lawsuit on Jan. 8 against Rust-Oleum Corp., alleging its paint products — when used to resurface concrete decks, patios or outdoor wood structures — are “susceptible to bubbling, peeling, cracking, flaking, chipping and general degradation after proper application.” The case was originally filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois.
