Hurt, care not known Made Sep 5, 2026, sent to the company Sep 14, 2026, published by CPSC Sep 28, 2026
The product, in the report: Open-cell spray foam insulation applied by a company now owned by Top Build Corporation during the construction of a new house
We hired a contractor and built a house in 2020-2021 and had a professional company (now owned by Top Build Corporation) instal open-cell spray foam insulation in our roof and exterior walls. After moving into the house we later hired a consultant to test our air quality and a spray foam sample after noticing a persistent smell that became much stronger in the summer and gave us consistent headaches, as well as irritation in our eyes, noses, and throats. The results showed levels of toxic chemicals above the EPA recommendations within the air of our home and that these chemicals were also in the spray foam insulation. We also researched online and found that these toxic chemicals are known to off-gas from spray foam insulation whenever it doesn’t cure properly. We contacted the company that installed the insulation, as well as our homeowners insurance, but did not receive any help from either of them. We are now stuck with a toxic house that our family cannot even live in and are not supplied with any reliable information or help on how to remediate the issue. The EPA should be ashamed of allowing these products on the market when they obviously know of the potential severe issues for consumers and have not done their due diligence in researching these products. I assume a class-action lawsuit against the government is only a matter of time.
