About ToxicTrailers.com

ToxicTrailers.com is dedicated to providing information about formaldehyde poisoning, and advocating effective government regulations. The government spent more than $2 billion on FEMA trailers with hazardous levels of formaldehyde, and now has dumped more than 103,000 former FEMA trailers on the market despite proven problems with formaldehyde, mold and even gas leaks. The FEMA trailer tragedy exposed what is a widespread problem in RVs, mobile homes, modular buildings and even conventional homes and offices. If you are having symptoms such as burning eyes, congestion, sore throat, coughing, breathing difficulties, frequent sinus infections or rashes, and difficulties concentrating, you may have a formaldehyde problem. For questions or to share your story, write 4becky@cox.net.
To make a complaint about former FEMA travel trailers being advertised or rented as permanent housing in violation of the sales contract, send an e-mail to David Robbins, david.robbins@gsa.gov.
Plywood made with a soy-based alternative is available at Home Depot at the same cost as plywood that outgassing formaldehyde. See http://www.columbiaforestproducts.com/Innovations.aspx/Adhesives
For a eco friendly travel trailer built with materials that don't outgas formaldehyde, see http://www.goevergreenrv.com/

Hy-Line trailer has high formaldehyde levels

I have a Hy-Line trailer purchased in 2005 that has a terrible smell to it. Advanced Chemicals ran a vapor analysis and the results were 0.097 ppm for formaldehyde. We've contacted an attorney, so we'll see what happens. What I'd like to know is do you have any other documentation from other people who own Hy-line trailers? That may be helpful to us.
