    The product, in the report: CARPET

    In June 2024, we placed an order for carpet installation through Costco, and the job was carried out by Shaw Floors in July 2024. At first, everything seemed fine. Through the rest of the summer of 2024, we didnt notice anything unusual. Then, in March 2025, things began to change. As the weather warmed up, we stopped wearing socks and slippers inside and started walking barefoot on the carpet. Thats when we began noticing troubling issues bruises and skin peeling on our feet. At first, we thought it might be something else, but the problem became undeniable in April 2025, when we hosted a family gathering to celebrate the upcoming arrival of our first baby in summer 2025. Several guests stayed with us for a week, and every single one of them experienced the same symptoms skin peeling and bruises after walking barefoot on the carpet. In total, more than 20 people noticed the same issues, and the only common factor was the carpet in our home. Concerned, we contacted Costco to report the problem and seek a solution. Costco requested medical documentation, so we spent money to visit a podiatrist. The doctor conducted a biopsy and ruled out allergies, infections, or any other medical conditions. The report specifically stated that the symptoms could be caused by the new carpet. We forwarded all medical documentation, photographs, and details to both Costco and Shaw Floors. Shockingly, their response was simply to deny responsibility, saying that nothing like this has ever happened before and that they would not take any action. This has left us in an unacceptable situation a brand-new carpet with a 20-year warranty that is not only defective but also harmful to anyone who walks on it.
