Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports that Hydro-Turf EVA marine flooring may experience premature delamination, adhesive failure, and separation of laminated foam layers despite being marketed as durable marine traction flooring designed for personal watercraft and boats.
Consumers report that corners lift shortly after installation, adhesive fails despite proper preparation, and certain laminated products separate into multiple layers after relatively limited use. Some owners allege that repeated re-gluing becomes necessary to keep the flooring attached, while others report replacing the entire flooring system well before they expected.
What Consumers Report
Consumers report:
- Corners lifting shortly after installation.
- Foam layers separating from one another.
- Adhesive failing despite proper surface preparation.
- Repeated need to re-glue lifted sections.
- Two-color flooring separating into individual layers.
- Water intrusion accelerating additional failures.
- Entire flooring systems requiring replacement.
- Warranty coverage proving insufficient to resolve recurring issues.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Hydro-Turf products are marketed as premium EVA traction flooring capable of withstanding prolonged exposure to water, sunlight, and regular recreational use. Consumers reasonably expect marine flooring to remain securely bonded while maintaining its appearance and structural integrity for years.
Instead, some owners allege that both the adhesive system and laminated foam construction deteriorate much sooner than expected. Once corners lift or laminated layers separate, the flooring may continue failing despite repeated repairs, resulting in recurring maintenance expenses and replacement costs.
This investigation seeks to determine whether Hydro-Turf adequately disclosed known adhesive or lamination issues affecting long-term product performance.
