The plaintiffs initiated an action against Rheem Canada Ltd. (manufacturer) and Reliance Home Comfort (installer) following a carbon monoxide incident.
Rheem brought a motion for summary judgment, asserting a lack of evidence that their water heater was defective or contributed to the incident.
The court granted summary judgment, dismissing the claim against Rheem, on the basis that the plaintiffs failed to adduce expert evidence to substantiate their allegations of defect or faulty training, relying instead on a self-serving affidavit.
