Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether NuCore rigid-core flooring is prone to premature joint separation, denting, persistent odors, or other durability-related defects despite being marketed as long-lasting and resilient flooring.
What Consumers Report About the Products
Consumers report purchasing NuCore flooring based on marketing emphasizing:
- Lifetime durability and long-term residential performance.
- Water-resistant or waterproof construction.
- Rigid-core stability and scratch resistance.
- Suitability for active households and high-traffic areas.
Consumers report that, in reality:
- Plank joints separate or fail prematurely.
- Flooring dents or scratches under ordinary household use.
- Strong chemical odors persist long after installation.
- Some consumers report respiratory irritation or indoor air-quality concerns.
Consumers also report frustration with warranty denials and difficulties obtaining remediation or replacement flooring.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Consumers may have paid premium prices for flooring marketed as durable, stable, and safe for residential use that allegedly deteriorates prematurely or emits persistent odors. Potential concerns may include:
- Misleading durability or performance representations
- Improper or inadequate warranty coverage
- Indoor air-quality and off-gassing concerns
- Economic harm from replacement and repair costs
Signs You May Be Affected
