NEW ORLEANS — A federal jury Thursday rejected a New Orleans family’s claims that the government-issued trailer they lived in after Hurricane Katrina was defective and exposed them to dangerous fumes.
The jury said the Gulf Stream Coach trailer was not “unreasonably dangerous” in its construction. The federal government wasn’t a defendant in this first of several “bellwether” trials designed to help the court test the merits of and possibly settle other claims over formaldehyde exposure in the trailers.
