Omega Flex, Inc. v. George, No. 17-8024 (8th Cir. 2017)
Annotate this CaseThe Eighth Circuit affirmed a petition for permission to appeal the district court's order denying Article III standing to Respondent Bonnie George, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated. George filed a class action against petitioners, alleging loss of benefit-of-the-bargain for the diminution in the value of structures containing corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST). The court held that George's assertions of paying more than CSST was worth and the consequent loss in value of the structures were economic injury sufficient to establish Article III standing. Accordingly, the court reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
