Purchased carpeting made by the Mohawk Group ("Exquisite attraction") which was installed by flooring contractor on June 6, 2023. Within a week we noticed the a large amount of carpet fiber were showing up in our vacuum cleaner and that carpet fibers were all over are young grandchildren's clothes as well as on our clothes as well. waited a few weeks (thinking it would stop but the problem persisted and we contacted the flooring contractor who filed a claim with Mohawk. Mohawk had an inspector stop out on 8-16-23 whose report said our vacuum cleaner was set "properly" but "aggressive" and Mohawk denied the claim. We borrowed a family member's vacuum cleaner and the same thing is happening. What we are most concerned about is not the longevity of the carpet but the potential health impact airborne fibers which continue to show up on our clothes. My wife has developed a persistent cough and we are wondering if this is linked.

I purchased a faux rug (app. 8x10') from Stoneberry.com. I purchased the rug in June and due to a backorder it was shipped in August. I had the rug in my home for a little over 30 days. In the past week or so I began feeling dizzy spells, heart palpitations, extremely dry mouth & throat (to the point of being unquenchable), & shortness of breath. I seriously thought I was suffering from high blood pressure or having a heart attack! I began to test my blood pressure & found that it was not the actual problem. I even tested my blood sugar to be sure. I have never had a problem with either blood pressure or high blood sugar & discovered this was not the problem. It was only after laying on the rug to pet my dog that I realized a pretty strong kerosene type odor from the rug. The symptoms continued to be a problem for over a week and then I thought it could be the rug. I removed the rug from my home. It is now on my front porch. Although it has only been removed for 24 hours, I have not experience the symptoms I have felt for over a week now as of yet. I truly feel this rug has poisoned me and my family. I have requested a refund on this product, but have not had time to hear back from Stoneberry. I truly do not want anyone else to end up with this terribly dangerous product. I do not know what to do about it or how to have it tested. Please help me. I have never dealt with this situation before. Thank you!

On June 2015 we purchases wall-to-wall carpeting from Lowes Hardware. The carpet as it ages emits a gaseous odor that takes our breath away at times when we have the house closed up. We expected that for new carpeting, but after 1 year past the odor continues, concentrated, and is now a health hazard for me as I have severe asthma. We use a whole room air filter system which does little to remove the gaseous oder. We have to keep windows open in all weather to air out the smell. Now after 14 mos past and the carpet seems to be disintegrating, and the gaseous smell sickens us, especially in humid or foggy weather where vapors are concentrated closer to the floor. I have called Lowes several times about this, and continue to be ignored, The gaseous smell is like burned rubber or plastic, and causes anyone entering out home to gasp to breath our house air. We keep a very clean home, and vacuum with our Shark vacuum twice a week throughout the house. Also, since getting this carpet installed, smoke alarms go off often in the night. We bought new smoke alarms, installed new batteries in them, and still have this problem. I believe the alarms are picking up the gas smell. Our house is 15 yrs old, and we had it built. Our old carpet still remains in the bedrooms and looks better than the disintegrating new carpet. The new carpet already looks old and beat up, My husband and I (age 70) live in the house, and we have a small dog also. I appealed again today to Lowes to consider the matter, and after I told them I am ready to call a lawyer over this, they said that they will have the carpet manufacturer contacted, and the carpet will likely be tested. Meanwhile, I seek any information as to what, if any, complaints are issued about carpeting smell and health hazards. I checked for this information online, so much confusing information for the lay person to sort out. I feel that this carpet is a serious health hazard and needs checking into. Is there any

The consumer purchased carpet in 5/2019, but it was defective. She ordered a replacement carpet in 2019, but it never shipped. The carpet being reported, was delivered 11/8/2019. The consumer contacted the dealer about staining concerns and the flattening out of the carpet. There is fuzzing on the nose of the carpet. The carpet has flattened down on the stair portion. Other locations of the carpet in the home, have also flattened out. (5/7/2020) One technician from the dealer came out, inspected the carpet and filed a complain (5/21/2020) A dealer's technician came out and looked at the carpet. Sometime later, the dealer filed a report with the carpet manufacturer. (7/2020) The carpet manufacturer sent an independent technician ([REDACTED], with [REDACTED]) came out to examine the carpet. The carpet measured between 4.0 - 3.0. The parts that walked on, were lower than the rest of the carpet. [REDACTED] told the consumer that this was within the approved variance for the use of carpet. Later, the consumer's claim was denied. (approx. 7/21/2020) The consumer was walking down the stairs, when she slip and fell. She was holding the stair's handrail at the time, but the smoothness of the carpet caused/contributed to the problem. She caught herself, but fell down 3 - 4 steps, on her bottom. She did not get injured. The consumer has spoken with the dealer's owner, [REDACTED NAME]. Dealer address: Molyneaux Tile & Carpet, 10 Plumb St., Verona, PA , 15147, Tel: 412-793-6100 The consumer is 88 years old and her husband is 93, so they are even more concerned about falling down the carpeted stairs The carpet was installed in November 2019. However, the house was unoccupied from January 1, 2020 to April 1, 2020. Two occupants in the house with no pets. The house is 2 stories with 12 steps connecting the 1st and 2nd floors.

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 was installed 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 comp

I am a member of the [REDACTED] of Boca Raton. I am not alone in this complaint. I am the one submitting it. It has taken me this long to get the 28 signatures needed to show you and the carpet company owner that this is a significant number of people complaining of this health problem. We know of at least 50 people unofficially but this is vacation time. The card room holds around 250 people. The new carpeting was put down overnight by using glue to adhere to the floor. The next day we smelled strong odors of formaldehyde and something that has a distinctive type odor. Management had big fans and the doors open. This is the only room in the entire building that has ever had to experience this. We complained so Management had two companies test the room. They found it was normal. Yet, our complaints continued. These include; headache, red eyes, tearing eyes, running nose, sore throat, coughing, tightness in lungs, and nausea. Then management bought several filter canisters. Some say it helps but others continue to suffer. I met with the President of the Board and the Manager for three months bringing them new information as I spoke to County Health Dept .officials, medical professionals and other carpet companies. All said that although the cause may never be known, the fact that so many people were complaining and some were unable to use the room at all, the carpet should be removed. So far, for a reason they will not share with me or others, they refuse to call the carpet company to tell of the health problem even though the President did say he would agree to negotiate. So far the Manager will not contact him. When I asked why, I was told they couldn't until they found the cause. I told them that the cause might never be known as I was told by those mentioned above. So far, nothing has been done. It doesn't make sense not to contact the owner. After the formaldehyde was gone, I tried to use the card room but within a very short time, I had all the symp
