You think a class action law suit stops manufacturers from producing stuff like that?

Are you sure it is not still available?

Oops ... forgot the smiley face ... went back and added it with edit.

LP "SmartSide" looks like an updated version of their previous siding. I would guess that various forms of fiber or OSB siding are still available.
