• Plaintiff Glenn Shoemaker filed a class action lawsuit against Menard Inc., Disston Company, and Gino Development in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri
• The lawsuit alleges that Menard-branded PERFORMAX and MASTERFORCE bonded abrasive wheels were sold without adequate disclosures about the products' expiration dates
• Bonded abrasive wheel bond material can degrade over time when exposed to adverse environmental conditions, making expired wheels a potential safety concern
• The defendants deny all liability but agreed to settle to avoid the cost and disruption of continued litigation
• As part of the settlement, Menard will add expiration date markings to covered products, update product literature on its website, and add expiration warnings to relevant tool operator manuals
