First aid Made Jul 5, 2022, sent to the company Dec 20, 2022, published by CPSC Jan 5, 2023
The product, in the report: carpet padding (insulation)
The consumer purchased new carpet and laminate flooring in his home in April 2020. He has filed 5 separate reports on the 5 products installed since he had adverse health reactions to one of them, but has no way to prove which one it is. Carpet padding was installed underneath the carpet throughout the entire home, except for the kitchen and bathrooms. Within approximately 4 – 6 months after installation, the consumer began to experience adverse health symptoms. He first began to wake up with the skin around his eyes swollen. This started happening every night. This led to an intense burning sensation in the skin around the right eye. 10/2020: He developed intense coughing and wheezing, and his eye problem persisted at all times day and night, being worse in the morning after sleeping in the house. His vision went from 20/20 to 20/40 after the persistent swelling around his eyes caused trauma induced astigmatism, eventually forcing him to have to purchase corrective glasses. His symptoms improve when he is away from the home, meaning that the cause of the irritation is coming from within the house. He has to rinse his eyes before leaving the home or the burning sensation around his right eye will linger for hours. NOTE: He also had the home painted around the same time. The consumer contacted the paint manufacturer [REDACTED] and reported the problem to them. They sent him a list of ingredients (MSD Sheets). The paint company also paid for a home indoor air quality test. High levels of ethanol were discovered, but the company who conducted the testing, could not tell him where it was coming from. The paint company did however confirm that the paint products in question did not contain ethanol. The consumer contacted the flooring underlayment company-manufacturer, but they would not take responsibility for the matter and did not offer any assistance with resolving the matter. The consumer was repeatedly told that since he had numerous materials installed around the same time that none of the companies would admit even the possibility of their product being the cause of his health issues. The carpet and floor installation was completed around 4/8/2022. The carpet and carpet back is certified for air quality standards by [REDACTED] . The laminate flooring and floor padding are both also covered by their own air quality standards certifications. The consumer called the air quality certification company [REDACTED], multiple times. Their rep. (name unavailable) told him that they test certain materials and that ethanol was not one of the substances that is required to be tested for, but would not elaborate beyond that. The air quality test was done approximately 10/2020. This is around the time frame that he began to experience symptoms. Well over 2 years after his symptoms began, they continue to persist without any sign of improvement.
