The product, in the report: Mohawk “Fast Break” wall-to-wall carpeting installed in three bedrooms of home
Home Depot installed Mohawk “Fast Break” carpet in our home on Dec. 23, 2013. My husband and I began to experience respiratory difficulties and skin allergic reactions after only a few hours of the installation. We went on Christmas vacation, and began feeling better. Upon returning to our home, we again began to have swollen and irritated eyes, blisters in the nostrils, difficulty breathing, and sustained elevated heart rate. (120-140 bpm) My husband was admitted to St. Luke’s Hospital due to his heart rate and difficulty breathing. He has a complete heart screening each year and has always been assured that his heart is very healthy, so we were confused as to why he was having these problems. After spending one night in the hospital, he began to be able to breathe normally, his heart rate went back to normal, and tests showed that his heart was indeed healthy. We returned home, and that very night the problems returned. That is when we figured out that it had to be the carpet. We stayed out of our home for two weeks until Home Depot removed the carpet. During this time, my husband did not experience any cardiac/respiratory problems. After the carpet was removed, he has been able to stay in our home without any further problems. My swollen eyes and blistered nostrils have also healed. We have not been compensated for the medical bills, duct cleaning, house sanitizing, dry cleaning of clothes/linens, or food/lodging costs incurred due to this very unsafe product.
