FEMA Trailer Litigation
| Immediately after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf Coast, Sean and some friends (all of whom have far more real man construction skills than him) went to Mississippi to assist where they could. Out of relationships made on that trip, Sean learned of the huge number of hurricane victims who were getting sick after moving into their FEMA-provided trailers. The trailers emit dangerously high levels of formaldehyde gas. Thus was born Keith Hillard et al. v. Gulfstream Coach, Inc., et al., Civil Action No.06-2576, a proposed class action pending in the New Orleans federal court. Sean serves as lead counsel to the proposed class. The litigation has garnered some publicity and action by Congress. Links: |
