The product, in the report: Laminate flooring
The flooring was delivered to the consumer’s home and her husband installed the flooring himself. The flooring is in their kitchen and hallway, which stretches to their foyer/front door (approx. 274 square feet).
2011: The flooring was installed during the winter, which is also the flue-season, but the consumers did not know that the flooring could be a factor with their adverse health symptoms until recently.
12/2015: The husband was in the kitchen, when he said he noticed that his symptoms were primarily present when he was in their home. The husband wondered If their flooring was part of the group that was being investigated by CPSC. The consumer said that they had heard about this issue in the past, but did not connect their flooring with the issue until recently.
12/31/2015: The consumer called the mfr. and spoke with [REDACTED] (last name unknown) and inquired about the possibility that their flooring could contain excessive formaldehyde. [REDACTED] checked the consumer’s flooring information and said it was on their list of impacted flooring and suggested that she contact their Customer Care Department, Tel: 1-800-427-3966. The consumer called that number and spoke with [REDACTED] (last name unknown), [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] sent the consumer a formaldehyde test kit. The consumer asked [REDACTED] if their flooring had excessive formaldehyde, but she told the consumer that she could not comment, since there was an ongoing investigation.
The consumer was concerned about the accuracy of the manufacturer’s test kit, so she ordered a second kit from an online-retailer, who was independent of the mfr. This test kit was manufactured by [REDACTED], but there was no phone number the consumer could provide.
1/10/2016: The consumer conducted the manufacturer’s test and she indicated that it takes 24 hours to run. She then has to pack up the test kit and send it to the manufacturer’s recommended testing lab. She said that the test would be completed by the time she returns home this evening.
1/10/2016: The consumer also conducted a second test with a kit that she purchased separately. The 2nd test kit took 10 -20 minutes to perform and the results were available to compare to a color chart that came with the kit. The color came out green and the number in the chart’s match to her color was 2.0 mg/m3. Based on the results, the consumer said that they are higher than the kit’s recommended safe levels. The literature in the kit indicated that the levels should not exceed 0.10 mg/m3.
The consumer and her husband both experience burning, watery eyes, which leads to tears. They both get frequent colds and experience congestion and a constant cough, runny nose. When the consumers are away from their home, the symptoms dissipate completely. Both consumer’s symptoms improve approximately 1 hour after leaving their home and they feel much better. Neither of the consumers smoke.
The consumer currently has pneumonia. However, she received a pneumonia shot last year and she was told that it was supposed to last for 10 years. She recently went to Urgent Care for her pneumonia. The consumer was diagnosed with a sinus infection and an ear infection. The consumer was prescribed medication for the infections.
