Question from lulas.mommy
Our landlord used a polyurethane cement caulking in our bedroom without telling us the product she used until 3 days after. We stayed downstairs but hhad central air on at night. The room had the window open the first day and a fan venting the smell ot afterwards. We just assumed she was using a silicone caulk but when we realized it was pretty bad, we were told it was in fact cement caulking (polyurethane based). We were in the house with our 10 week old baby. I am utterly devastated that my baby was probably affected. Any recomendations on what to do?
