I had a home built at 1328 Ellis Mill Rd, Mullica Hill, NJ 08062 on land that I own. The builder was Schaeffer Family Homes located in Berlin, NJ . The building product used in my home for the floor joist was manufactured by Weyerhaeuser and is off gassing high levels of Formeldehyde gas into my home. They sprayed a latex base paint onto the joists without my consent and now they claim that his is a permanent fix. I do not agree and would like some help in having the joists replaced with a safe product. Thank You

Re: Possible Unsafe Products- Stabil Concrete Pavers, LLC-Sarasota, Florida To Whom It May Concern: By way of this communication and Its attachments, I respectfully request the review and possible intervention of the commission. My concerns specifically relate to products which were and continue to be produced by STABIL CONCRETE PAVERS, LLC of Sarasota, Florida. As a point of Information, I am a retired forensic construction defect/product defect consultant with over 35 years of forensic experience. 1 am degreed in the four (4} major engineering disciplines of civil, mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering as well as having been exposed to the commission's interventions in the past. The products of which I have concern are swimming pool coping stones and concrete paving stones. My initial exposure to the defective products were when coping stones were installed on my pool circa March 2014. At that time, the stones exhibited excessive edge chipping. The forensic signatures were quite clear that I may be dealing with a substandard production product. But, hoping that I was dealing with an anomaly, I approached the manufacturer with a warranty claim. Though they attempted to offer what was, in their view, a fair settlement position. In my view, their offer fell short of being equitable. The recalcitrant nature of both the manufacturer as well as their attorney urged me to utilize the forensic skills God chose to entrust to my care. The new question was whether the defective products installed at my pool were just an isolated situation or, in the alternative, evidence of a more pervasive production problem. If the defects were pervasive, they could pose a threat to the health and welfare of the public totally beyond aesthetic appearance issues. Based upon the need to be objective, I temporarily ignored the coping stones installed on my pool. I sought out and obtained standard supply chain samples, maintaining as normal a chain of custody as

Ordered tile sample of zellige tiles from Riad tile. Heard where they are manufactured can use lead glaze on the tile. So I did a lead test and got a glaring positive. Contacted the company and was very dismissed and they did not share my concern.

The consumer and a friend of his were installing this tile in the home and they both became sick after working with it for approximately an hour. They worked with the tile for approximately 6 hours. The tile was installed on all of the counters in the kitchen. The consumer and his friend experienced burning eyes, congestion, upset stomach and dry mouth. The consumer said that he drank about 2 gallons of water, but still could not get rid of the dry mouth symptoms. The box that the tile came in did not indicate what the tile was made out of. The consumer and his friend continued to experience the symptoms the following day. So, leaving the home did not get rid of the symptoms. The consumer noted that an elderly lady who lived in the home also experienced similar symptoms. He believes that some of the dust from the tile got into the home vent system and spread to other parts of the home. This is a 3 story 4,000 square foot home. The consumer has not contacted the mfr. or retailer, but he may do so in the future.

The consumer says that the product created strong fumes to the point that she could not enter her house. Work was being done in the appartment directly behind her in the same building and same complex. They were using an acrylic mixed with a different compound for surfacing a countertops and/or bathtub. She said the fumes entered her apartment and several others and made her sick to the point she had to go to the hospital. The consumer says the Doctors were unable to do anything because she did not have information about the product. She says that it felt like a constant asthma attack. She has also had constant sinus problems, and a runny nose, difficulty breathing, loss of smell, couldn't walk. The consumer says she spoke to the Perfect Surfaces company who uses the product in their resurfacing business, they mix their own version, who told her it would take four hours to to air out but not to worry because the product is non toxic. The consumer says it is highly toxic.

The consumer went out on the deck after the decking was partially installed sat on a bench and she sustained a burn. The consumer estimates that the ambiennt temperature was somewhere between the upper 80's and the low 90's. The consumer sustained her burn in the afternoon. The consumer sat on a part of the bench that had this composite material. The consumer said that the burn occurred immediately. She said that the material began to burn through her clothing and her underwear and she instantly got up. The contractors were at her home and they stopped working on the deck at that point. Later that day, the consumer's husband took readings of the temperature of the material with a non-contact thermometer. The first reading was 156.1 degrees. In other instances, temperatures measured around 150 degrees. Initialy, the consumer's contractor contacted his supplier, but the consumer said that the supplier was dragging their feet. The consumer said that the supplier had a claims person contact her, but she pointed out that may be sued. She was informing them that this material was unsafe and could get excessively hot and could injure someone. The consumer spoke with [REDACTED], Master Mark Plastic, 210 Ampe Dr. Paynesville, MN 56362, Tel: Office 320-243-7318; Cell: [REDACTED]. The consumer said that Mr. [REDACTED] indicated that the distributor knows that material could get hot. The consumer said that Mr.[REDACTED] suggested that she build a shade to cover this material. The consumer does not believe that he addressed her concerns about this product. NOTE: The consumer said that her contractor was willing to redo the deck, If the supplier or the mfr/brand name company was willing to take the material back. The consumer said her contractor has told her that he is not comfortable using this product.

I purchased my current home in August 2009 from the original builder. The home was built in 2006. The roof is covered with Tamko Lamarite Slate Composite shingles. Over the past couple years, sections of shingles have started to crack and fall off the roof into my and my neighbors yard. These sections are typically up to a foot long by 7 to 8 inches wide. This does not appear to be an intallation issues since the cracks typically occur away from the nailed attachment area. When they break, they fall the 20 to 30 feet to the ground at a high rate of speed. Although they are not excessively heavy, their size, speed and configuration make it very dangerous to people below. My neighbor recently returned a section of one shingle that sailed into his yard. Given the number of children, including my own, who play in our yard - I'm very concerned about what would happen if the edge of shingle hit one of them. These shingles are thin and rigid with edges shaped like rough slate. I notified Tamko of the issue. They informed me that their 50 year warranty did not cover me since the builder lived in the house for three years while he was trying to sell it. Evidently the warranty cannot be transferred to a subsequent owner after two years - even if the house is bought directly from the Builder! Tamko has refused to consider any form of resolution. I have contacted a roofer about repairing the 10 to 12 shingles that have broken to date - and have been informed that other shingles are damaged and close to failure as well. I fear this condition will continue to get worse and continue for years unless properly addressed now. Given the cost of these shingles (~ $23,000 for just the shingles) - I had a higher expectation for quality and safety.

Shopping at home Depot, put a piece of metal edging on cart, piled mulch on top so metal edging would not slide off the cart. ( had that problem the last time purchasing this product) The product is sold in 8ft. lengths and the carts to transport the metal are 3ft to 5 ft. long. So the product overhangs on any cart to transport. The product is "RAZOR SHARP" on one side of the edging. No warning signs saying this is sharp. No gloves provided, no SAFETY GUARD on the very sharp edge. I walked away from my cart, went to get more items, upon returning to my cart, I walked into the metal edging and sliced my leg to thew bone. I was taken to the hospital via ambulance, and received 6 stitches in my lower leg. I am scared for life, and have over $3000.00 in medical bills both Home Depot (seller of the product) and Collier Metal Specialties, LTD( manufacturer) REFUSE to take responsibility for selling a dangerous product. It is concerning as a consumer to experience an incident with injury In-which could of been avoided if a PLASTIC GUARD was on the SHARP METAL EDGE. The product cannot be transported from shelf to cash register WITH OUT sustaining an injury. Please investigate the sale of this product.
