- JELD-WEN, Inc., JELD-WEN Holding, Inc., and JELD-WEN of Canada, Ltd. for CDN$1,060,000.

Only settlement class members who purchased at least CAD$400,000 of interior molded doors between March 1, 2014 and December 31, 2018 directly from a Defendant were eligible to submit a claim.
Recognizing that not all Settlement Class Members were eligible to submit a claim, a cy-pres distribution in the amount of CAD$100,000 was made to Habitat for Humanity.
The settlements resolve the litigation in its entirety.
Quebec Action
On June 25, 2025, the Superior Court of Quebec issued a judgment discontinuing the action against the Defendants.
