: Legal Pad | LAPipe manufacturing company fights whistleblower suit
By Richard Binder
JM Eagle is the world?s largest maker of plastic pipe, with products used in water and sewage lines and electrical and gas distribution systems across the globe. But now Nevada, Virginia, Delaware, Tennessee and 43 municipalities and water districts, including the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, have joined a lawsuit accusing the company of manufacturing poor quality PVC pipe since at least 1997.
The whistleblower suit, filed by former company engineer John Hendrix, also accuses JM Eagle of falsifying quality assurance tests and misrepresenting the strength of its pipe to customers.
JM Eagle is fighting back, hiring Lanny Davis to handle public relations and accusing Hendrix of being involved in a kickback scheme. Davis is working with attorneys from the Los Angeles office of Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton.
