I made several attempts to contact Shaw by phone with negative results and on 10/23/89 at approximately 1630 hours I made contact with Shaw at her residence. Shaw explained that on or about 11/5/88 she arrived home to find her residence was being painted by a sub-contractor (who was another tenant). She stated that she noticed fumes were fairly significant and that the people doing the painting, who she identified as Diane and Terry (no further), told her that the product they were using should not be breathed. She stated that they left the house and came back sometime later after having stayed at the neighbors. She stated that she also learned that the product was a \\Ki 1 z "and according to her daughter, Enid Williams, the product that was applied came in red and white cans both aerosol and what the daughter described as one gallon paint cans. Shaw reported to me that she had contacted the Bakersfield Police Department on or about 11/15/88 and as a result of that the Bakersfield Police Department had completed case report nU.mber 88-42238 concerning the incident. For further information, see a copy of that report which is attached. Shaw also told me that she had made a couple of contacts with a law firm towards the possible end of seeking some type of product liability or negligence complaint against the manufacturer and/or landlord. She told me that she initially contacted an attorney, Mike Young of the Firm of Young and Wooldridge, however, they did not take the case and she has since been in contact wi th a Jo~C. Hopkins who has agreed to take the case (2975 Wilshire Blvd., #512, Los Angeles - phone 213-387- 7359). In reviewing the documents submitted with the consumer complaint with Shaw it was determined that some of the copies of the M. S. D. S. sheets which she had provided were not included. According to Shaw the significance of those sheets is that when she first contacted Floyd I s Stores she was given the telephone number for Caldwell Paint Manufacturing Company. She said that when she telephoned Caldwell she spoke with a Mrs. Nora England and tha t certain information was provided on that sheet. She said that she subsequently learned that she may not have all the information concerning the product because she had compared the M.S.D.S. sheet with product located on the display shelf at F l,oyd IS. She said she subsequent 1 y had them send her a second M.S.D.S. sheet set which was sent to her by an individual by the name of Sherry at Caldwell Paint. She said those sheets reflect slightly different information and appear to be typed in a different manner than the original sheet which was sent to her. 2 It e She believes that at least one of the inconsistencies is that the second sheet lists 1-1-1 trichloroethane, which is not reflected on the original sheet. It should also be noted that Shaw stated she would be willing to provide us with releases to obtain the medical information al though she stated that she has had problems in obtaining specific information from at least one of the physicians whom her daughter was treated by. That physician is Dr. Sung S. Jung. A copy of the letter from Shaw to Jung is included as an exhibit to this report. Per the original investigation request, this report will be submi tted to a Deputy District Attorney for further review to determine whether or not further investigation by this office is warranted.

She stated since Reyes used the chemical to remove the mildew, the residence has been emitting a toxic fume when the house becomes heated from the heater, causing her and her family to become light headed, dizzy and, at times, disoriented. She stated she feared for her family's safety to remain inside the house, believing the toxic fume could possibly kill them in their sleep. She stated she has attempted several times to contact Reyes about the problem; however, has not been able to get in contact with him. She stated each time she calls Reyes· number, she speaks to a daughter of his or receives no answer.

She stated the fire department responded and smelled and felt the effects of the toxic fumes; however, could not locate any gas leak. Shaw stated the only advice she received from the Health Department was to remove the children from the residence and to open all the windows in the residence in order to allow the residence to air out and possibly to get rid of the fumes. She stated she did so this past weekend, 11/12/88, and let the residence air out for a full day. However, after returning back to the residence, and after the residence warmed up, the toxic fumes returned. Shaw stated that today, 11/15/88, Turonda Crumpler, from the Environmental Health Services for the County of Kern, responded to her residence and checked the residence out. She stated that Crump ler to ld her she was unab le to locate any heal th hazard and did not experience any light headedness or dizziness or smell any toxic fumes coming from inside the residence. Shaw stated that before Crumpler responded, she observed a PG&E man doing repair work nearby. She stated the PG&E employee, identified by the name of JIM, a Hispanic male, 38 years old, responded to residence and smelled the toxic fumes. She stated he immediately turned off the heater and checked for a gas leak; hOlvever, was unable to locate any. She stated he was standing by at her residence awaiting my arrival to advise me of what he experienced inside of the residence; however, left prior to my arrival.
