Does anyone know that FEMA plans to let a fed prison recycle these toxic trailors, They are saying that this will be safe for the people who work on these trailors. Why is it not safe to live in but it is safe to breath these toxic fumes while tearing them apart.

I lived in one of those campers in Mobile, Al from October 05 until August of 07. I ended up in three different hospitals. No joke, it sucked. Two of the hospitals were
mental hospitals. I was in mental hospitals for 42 days and a regular hospital for about 18 days. All Fema is admitting to is the fact that studies have found that the contaminated trailers cause cancer and respitory trouble. However, they don’t tell you about breathing that shit can cause neurological problems, as well. I am just thankful to God I am doing well today. Oh yeah, my doctors made me promise not to go back and live in that camper. I gave it back to them, as soon as, I got out of the hospital. By the way, a Fema rep
resentative came to see me at the mental hospital. They are lieing to the American people. Why did they come to see me if they don’t feel responsible? I’ll tell you why. Because I am positive I am not the only person living in one of those
campers that this happened to. My doctor says there is a new
study out by some entity, I think it is called the American
Mental Association, that states the levels in those campers were causing neurological problems. Signed, Very Angry With Fema

I repair travel trailers for a living and when new all have the same smell and problem,but it disipates over time. There is a label or sticker(usually)that tells about it.$10,000 or $100,000 all manufacturers use it,so its not the gov out to get you. Open a window or vent and get over it, it was a free place for the “victims” to stay.

We should put the FEMA leadership in the trailers and make them go through the same type of living standards that they have put on so many other people.
Then put them in jail for not protecting these poor people.

Somewhere in the trailer there should be a label that warns of the urea formaldehyde the wood products are made with.
It tells the user to ventilate the trailer to avoid this problem. If these tralers are left with the windows and vents closed in the heat of lower LA that can make the situation in the trailer very serious. If thelabels were removed or never installed, there should be a criminal investigation. If the labels are there, the people living in them should be using care and leaving the vents open.
I have been living in an RV for several years. I know that when I close te vents, I start to get sick and when I open them I feel better.
The government let the people down, but how is that any different from any other government program?

We purchased a travel trailer at an online goverment auction.The trailer is a 2006,in GREAT shape.We were not aware untill we went to pick up the trailer in Cumberland ,Maryland that the trailers on that auction was in fact from FEMA.Our trailer was from BatonRouge.When you open the door there is such a strong odor it makes youre eyes&throat burn.Then some one tells me about the formaldehyde problem.I believe thats what it is.I think thats a ripp-off we paid thousands$$ for this and was never told or warned.Once again the goverment out to get you any way they can.
