On October 9, 2014, Siskinds LLP filed a claim against Honeywell International Inc. and Honeywell Limited (“Honeywell”) on behalf of all persons in Canada who purchased certain models of Honeywell TrueSTEAM humidifiers. The claim alleges that the stated humidifiers are prone to premature failure and are not suitable for the use advertised, marketed, and warranted by Honeywell. Contrary to Honeywell’s representations, the inside of the humidifiers, including the heating coil used to heat water and various other components, are prone to failure, due to issues that include scaling and the buildup of mineral deposits. These failures often result in overheating, blockages, and/or cracking of components.

On January 11, 2019, the settlement in this case was approved by the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta. Under the settlement, Canadian class members will be entitled to receive either a replacement humidifier or a cash payment in lieu of the humidifier.
