Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating Temu peel-and-stick wallpaper advertised as “renter-friendly” and “easily removable,” after reports that removal rips paint and drywall paper, causing costly damage.
Reported Issues
Renters describe consistent removal failures:
- Wallpaper adhesive tearing off paint and drywall surface
- Damage occurring despite following removal instructions
- Large repair patches required after removal
- Loss of security deposits or landlord repair charges
- Products advertised as “damage-free” behaving otherwise
Photos shared online show widespread drywall damage inconsistent with marketing claims.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
These products are explicitly sold to renters who rely on easy removal. Alleged conduct may support:
- False advertising and negligent misrepresentation
- Property-damage tort claims
- Diminished-value and security-deposit losses
- Product-liability theories, if adhesive strength is unreasonably dangerous
“Renter-friendly” claims are material to purchase decisions and must be accurate.
Signs You May Be Affected
- Purchased Temu peel-and-stick wallpaper
