MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - In Mobile County, 66 people have filed
federal lawsuits against the manufacturers of travel trailers they
say exposed them to dangerous levels of formaldehyde after
Hurricane Katrina.
The lawsuit joins about 23,000 others that have been filed in
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. The Alabama lawsuits name seven
manufacturers, along with contractors, who won no-bid contracts to
install the trailers.
The lawsuits filed Tuesday will be transferred to a federal
judge in New Orleans who has been appointed to oversee all travel
trailer litigation along the Gulf Coast.
