DENVER, CO — The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. was found negligent in a recent court case centering on radiant-heating hose manufactured by the company and installed at the Beaver Creek vacation homes in Colorado. Vista Resorts, developer of the vacation homes, filed the lawsuit against Goodyear, claiming that its Entran II radiant heating hose is faulty. According to the plaintiff, Goodyear’s Entran II cracked and leaked fluids under the homes. The repair process was extensive, requiring expensive floors to be ripped up in order to get to the radiant heating systems.
According to attorneys for Vista Resorts, the faulty hose was also responsible for damage to the ceilings, floors, basements, and even driveways of some of the homes.
