Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether LifeProof luxury vinyl plank (“LVP”) flooring is prematurely scratching, chipping, separating, or allowing water intrusion despite being marketed as highly durable and “100% waterproof.”
What Consumers Report About the Products
Consumers report purchasing LifeProof flooring based on representations emphasizing:
- “100% waterproof” performance.
- Scratch-resistant and family-friendly durability.
- Long-term residential protection and “LifeProof” branding.
- Suitability for kitchens, bathrooms, and other moisture-prone areas.
Consumers report that, in reality:
- Flooring scratches or chips shortly after installation.
- Edges and seams begin separating or lifting.
- Moisture allegedly penetrates beneath planks despite waterproof marketing.
- Warranty claims are denied or blamed on installation issues.
Many consumers also report paying premium prices because they believed the flooring would provide superior long-term durability and water resistance.
Why Consumers Should Be Concerned
Consumers may have paid substantial premiums for flooring marketed as waterproof and highly durable that allegedly fails under ordinary household conditions. Potential concerns may include:
- Misleading waterproof or durability representations
- Breach of written or express warranties
- Premature flooring failure requiring replacement
- Economic harm from repair and reinstallation costs
Signs You May Be Affected
- Your LifeProof flooring scratched, chipped, or separated prematurely.
- You experienced water damage or moisture infiltration beneath the flooring.
- Your warranty claim was denied despite ordinary residential use.
- You paid more because of “waterproof” or durability-related marketing claims.
