The Laguna Sur Homeowners Association( and SeaBreeze Management Company) decided to install Nu Flow's epoxy lining in all 253 residences. The company convinced our 5 man board of retirees (with no medical background) that the product is 100% safe for everyone. Ours is an elderly community of people with serious illnesses and compromised immune systems. Several doctors have advised against this product for health and safety reasons, including lack of data showing effects over sustained, continuous exposure to toxic chemical leached from the product and allergenic properties of the product.(My doctor notified the association, in writing, that this product is harmful to my health and said it will render my house uninhabitable, I will have to move.) However, the NuFlow salesman convinced the association.. And asserted in owner's' meetings, ... that, "Doctors don't know what they are talking about."; That doctors are misinformed and that, "Doctors just look this up on the Internet" (whatever that means). Further, the salesman repeatedly claims that the product is, "100% safe for everyone" and our concerns about the product are "baseless"; that the product has to be safe because it is approved by the EPA. "Given the information we have now, this is absolute safe for everyone." Has been stated many times by the salesman. Evidence of safety given is primarily the fact that this product is installed on aircraft carriers, the US Capitol and the White House and it wouldn't be installed if it wasn't safe. (Never mind the fact those places are not homes where people live long-term.) Plus, "The product has been on the market several years and no one died yet." The EPA and our Moulton-Niguel Water District published warning that NO drinking water product is 100% safe for everyone, as Nu Flow claims, and those agencies direct the elderly and those with compromised immune systems to follow the advice of their doctors. However, the association is so convinced of the products safety, it originally denied requests for "safer" substitutions advised by doctors. Plus they threatened, in writing, that owners who oppose this product will be forcibly removed from their homes and the epoxy product imposed, against doctors' advice, because our doctor's concerns are invalid. Who am I supposed to trust...the salesman who stands to make millions on this product, or the EPA who warns me to follow my doctor's advice, and my doctor who says this product puts my health at risk to the point I will have to sell my house? I am alleging that Nu Flow's claims are false, misleading and reckless. For those of us who desire an alternative remedy deemed safer by our doctors, we have to sign an agreement that lowers our property values and exposes us to significant liability. If we don't sign the agreement, they will forcibly remove us. This is how convinced the association is that Nu Flow's claims of safety are right. .
