A class action lawsuit has been filed alleging the vendors gave Hurricane Katrina victims mobile homes contaminated with harmful levels of formaldehyde. The lawsuit was filed in Baton Rouge Federal Court on behalf of people in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama that may have been exposed to the carcinogen. Forest River Inc. and other travel trailer vendors provided mobile homes to 120,000 Katrina victims through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Formaldehyde is used in a number of materials inside the trailers, including particle board, plywood, glue, curtains, molded plastic, and countertops. The substance can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and skin.
