: Subject: Texas Family Sues Builder Over Toxic Home

:

: On Friday, March 8th, we filed a lawsuit against our builder

: Weekley Homes over our toxic home which is contaminated with dangerous

: levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and toxic mold.

:

: Our brand new home came with a leak that caused water to seep between our

: walls and under our hardwood floors that we found less than two days

: after we moved in. Our builder, Weekley Homes, failed after

: numerous complaints to remove or dry any of the wet building materials.

: Their negligence created the optimal environment for the growth and

: spreading of toxic mold.

:

: Because of serious declining health, we had to evacuate our home after

: only 5 weeks of living there. Extensive testing found high levels of

: toxic mold in walls, in the hard wood floor, and in all 3 bathrooms.

: Additional testing revealed dangerous levels of toxic petroleum based

: solvents and other toxic volatile organic compounds in our home. Some of

: the chemicals found were benzene, benzaldehyde, decane, heptane,

: formaldehyde, methylbenzene, octane, styrene, and xylene. The house and

: virtually everything we own is contaminated and ruined with toxic

: chemicals and/or toxic mold.

:

: My baby and I suffered neurological and brain injury. My baby lost her

: speech regressing to primitive grunting. Our cat died. More of our

: symptoms and problems with the home can be found in a copy of our

: petition at

: http://www.toxichomes.org/news/pr01_petition_and_affidavit.htm. Also

: posted at the same link is an affidavit stating why Weekley's response

: has been unreasonable necessitating the filing of this suit.

:

: In Texas, Weekley Homes builds in Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth,

: Houston, and San . They also build in the following cities:

: Atlanta, ton, Charlotte, Denver, ville, Nashville, Orlando,

: Raleigh, Tampa, and Tulsa. They claim to be the second largest,

: privately-owned home builder in America.

:

: We are represented by Mark of Law Firm, LLP in

: Houston, Texas.
