I have shutoff valves that are now heavily corroded and do not fully

the "crimped" on valves, I found several older posts about
polybutylene (Quest) and how it's no longer used and in many cases not
up to code (for interior use).

I'm hesitant now to mess with these valves. It's seems the time period
has expired for the class action lawsuit. Is there any recent
information on this? From what I've read, it's not a matter of if
there will be a problem, but when.

Google is your friend. Type in polybutylelene plumbing and follow the
prompts.

Before anyone else suggests GOOGLE, I have done that ("From what I've
read..."). I'm looking for CURRENT information. All I'm finding so far
is outdated information.
Hi,
If you live in hot climate in South, the risk is higher.
That is my understanding.
