Question

Please help. In the case of Lumber Liquidators' laminate flooring, do you believe that lawsuits filed by consumer activist will help solve the of unsafe flooring? I must come up with 300 words.

Answer 1

Yes, I believe that the lawsuits filed by the consumer activist will help in solving the unsafe flooring, because the lawsuit filed by the consumer activist had bring it into the knowledge of the government agencies as well as the vast customer group that ultimately create a snowball effect in making the customers careful regarding the manufacturing defects of Lumber Liquidators' laminate flooring as well as make the company accountable for the products that they will be offering in future.

Moreover, the lawsuits that were filed by the consumer activist in March 2015 on "60 Minutes" reporting complaining that the Chinese manufactured laminated flooring contain illegal quantities of formaldehyde which is very dangerous to human health causing respiratory problems and irritation to the eyes, nose and throat of the people who have bought and used it for further, it was mentioned than it accelerates the chances of developing dreadful disease like cancer in human beings.

Hence, following this lawsuit Lumber Liquidators will be paying some amount of $ 22 million in cash and $ 14 million in store credit vouchers to those customers whoever have bought flooring from Lumber Liquidators during the period since 2009- 2015.

Therefore, I believe the customers will be getting highly valued by receiving various amounts of cash as compensation or vouchers from Lumber Liquidators for buying newly manufactured products from them that are manufactured in a hygenic way with the involvement of any toxic chemicals. Moreover, it will given a tough lesson to Lumber Liquidators Company to carry out ethical and hygenic practices of manufacturing laminate flooring in future.
