Action Alleging Formaldehyde Exposure in FEMA Trailers
In In re: FEMA Trailer Formaldehyde Prods. Liab. Litig., No. 09-31131, an action based on allegedly injurious formaldehyde exposure in FEMA trailers following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the court affirmed the dismissal of the complaint where 1) the district court’s attempt to provide trial results that would offer a firm basis for resolution of the thousands of outstanding cases would be thwarted and unreasonably delayed by granting a continuance; and 2) the district court’s action was not so much a sanction against plaintiff as a necessary device to maintain an orderly resolution of the massed cases.
