The three companies are: Gulf Stream Coach, Inc., the largest privately held RV maker in the U.S., based in Nappanee; Pilgrim International, Inc., based in Middlebury; and Keystone R.V. Co., based in goshen. According to the report "each showed statistically significantly higher levels of formaldehyde than the other travel-trailer strata combined.”
Steve Bennett, president of Pilgrim International, of Middlebury, said Monday that the company is "working with Congress" on the issue.

"Congress requested information and we provided information to Congress," he said. "We built the trailer to government specifications. We will cooperate with any information they desire."

He declined further comment.
Travel trailers were divided into seven strata by the Centers for Disease Control: The top six brands, including the three Indiana companies, and a combination of all other travel-trailer brands supplied by FEMA.

"...Officials at plywood industry trade groups in the United States and Canada suggest improperly sealed plywood imported from China might be the culprit.

The plywood would have been used to make cabinets and build the structure of the trailers.

American and Canadian plywood makers say they commonly use phenol formaldehyde to make both interior and exterior plywood. The phenol variety’s tight bonding characteristics make it impervious to water, while the other variety, known as urea formaldehyde, can allow gas to escape if it is not sealed properly, said Paul Jaehrlich, technical services director of the Canadian Plywood Association.

“Our glues, and this is the same for American plywood, don’t emit formaldehyde,” Jaehrlich said..."

We import plywood?
