We consider the production of charged Higgs scalar bosons at $e^{+}$$e^{\mathrm{-}}$ and hadron colliders as a probe of the ${\mathrm{WHZ}}_i$ vertex which can be nonzero at the tree level in ${\mathrm{E}}_6$ models. Substantial cross sections at both kinds of colliders are possible but backgrounds are very substantial. These backgrounds can, in principle, be dealt with. $e^{+}$$e^{\mathrm{-}}$ annihilation with a light $Z_2$ may offer the best hope of probing this new interaction.
