The Jury Verdict Is In! NOT Responsible!

Cut and pasted from Greg Gerber's daily RV news blog:

BREAKING NEWS

NOT GUILTY! Jury sides with Gulf Stream in formaldehyde suit

(Sept. 24, 2009) -- Five men and three women decided that a trailer made by Gulf Stream Coach Inc. and occupied by Alana Alexander and her 12-year-old son, Christopher Cooper, was not "unreasonably dangerous" in its construction. One juror saying the plaintiffs' attorneys never had the "smoking gun" that proved their case. The jury also concluded that Fluor Enterprises Inc., which had a contract to install FEMA trailers, wasn't negligent.

This is good news! I have said for several years the formaldahyde injury claims were bogus, just more welfare recipients wanting to rip somebody else off.

I transported lots of FEMA trailers although I don't think I pulled a Gulfstream trailer. My dog and I slept in all the FEMA trailers I pulled. Yes, they had strong adhesive odors as all new trailers do for awhile but it was easily vented outdoors by simply opening the windows and roof vents.
