The following was reported: 3 years ago, we purchased pesticide treated posts and rails, treated with CCA, and put them up around a portion of our developed property. We did not know there were pesticides in this product and proceeded to pound posts, drill holes into rails, cut rail ends, and burn rail ends, all because we were never informed as to what pressure-treated meant and what the contents were. One month ago we purchased more posts and rails, to complete our project. that is where I noticed a label affixed to one bundle of rails that stated that the product contained arsenic, copper and chromium.To be determined by Registrant

The following was reported: I began to experience inflammation in my nostrils, to the point that I suffered some hearing loss in one ear as it could not drain. I developed swelling in my hands and feet, peripheral neuropathy in my hands, and pain in my feet upon rising in the mornings. Most of these symptoms have lessened but have not gone away. I still suffer from tingling in my hands, inflammation in my nostrils, and some pain in my feet in the mornings.
