Ouch!

I'm very sorry to hear about this. My only advice would be to talk to a laywer about it. I would guess that the store owner would be liable, since he did not tell you the stand would void the 20 year warranty on the tank. In fact, if the sales person stated the tank had a 20 year warranty, the store is liable to uphold that warranty. I don't think it matters if the store was counting on the manufacturer's warranty or not.

I'm no legal expert, but this is how I believe it works. I'd definitely contact a lawyer. The store should be liable.

Good luck!
