VISTA, Calif., April 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Eco Building
Products, Inc., (PINK: ECOB) is pleased to announce that
Charlie Farkouh with Home and Land
Development is now behind this defensive building movement with
Eco Red Shield™
Advanced Framing Lumber offering him and his homeowners
protection that raw lumber could not, as the framing materials for
his second house were delivered direct to the jobsite today in
New Jersey. In a recent interview
with Mr. Farkouh, it was mentioned that he has two additional
customs homes and fifteen townhouses which have been specified with
ECOB's Advanced Framing Lumber. Please visit this link for

So how hot is the Mold topic now in the Building Industry?
Recently, Underwriter's Laboratory Chief Economist Erin Grossi put out a press release about a Real
Estate Conference taking place later this month that will discuss
protecting the air quality in homes from things like Mold. In the
recent press release, she was quoted as saying "It [mold] is
emerging as very similar to asbestos in that people are actively
recruiting class-action suits and encouraging people to look at
this." In UL's white paper, Grossi said "The recognition that mold
is a cause of human health complications has catalyzed an 'uptick'
in related lawsuits in the U.S. There are now more than 14,000
pending building mold cases and with juries awarding multi-million
dollar settlements, building owners and their attorneys are
actively looking for ways to protect against related problems." She
goes on to say "I know this is a huge concern of building owners,"
said the Chicago-based economist.
"Obviously they don't want to talk about it too much."

Droughts and wild fires are another new hot topic with
California facing one of the most
severe droughts on record. Governor Brown declared a drought State
of Emergency in January, and directed State Officials to take all
necessary actions to prepare for water shortages. The State has
continued to lead the way to make sure California is able to cope with an
unprecedented drought, but when will the Governor step in and make
builders protect at least the raw lumber details on the house from
fire ignition?
Mold is not a new hot topic to us at Eco. We knew one day this
would become a hot topic in the Building Industry as most in the
lumber business shy away from discussing the issue. Builders and
Architects are learning how to defend themselves from future mold
related law suits as part of the Eco Defensive Partner
Certification Program because they are being taught how to defend
themselves and their clients in a proactive manner
http://www.ecob.net/index.php?p=services&id=158. Moreover, the
supply chain customer base for Eco Red
Shield Advanced Framing Lumber is constantly
increasing with more lumber yards inquiring about pricing and how
to obtain the product.
Steve Conboy, President & CEO
of Eco Building Products, Inc. commented that "Finally,
Eco Red Shield Advanced Framing
Lumber is being recognized as the best lumber in the Industry.
Builders and Architects are now learning that by suggesting this
protection instead of selling it on every quote, they mitigate
themselves from future mold lawsuits, even if the buyer refuses to
pay the additional cost. The Lumber Industry for the most part has
ignored the overwhelming residential fire and mold problems. I'm
confident that some of the leaders in the Industry are joining the
Eco movement not simply because they want to, rather they see
themselves as a potential target for mold related lawsuits."
Lumberyards that want to challenge Eco's Conboy do not stand a
chance because they have all seen mold in their yards and stores,
and for now, there is no other solution that truly works. For over
eleven years now, Conboy has been pounding the Industry to create
change and raise the bar now regarding mold and fire protection on
lumber. Conboy further noted that "The national lumber supply chain
will be the last to follow suit in this movement and that is why
Eco is out to train contractors, builders, architects and consumers
on how to defend themselves against mold, and from the growing
population of lawyers that will be chasing these professionals'
liability policy. We think the cat is out of the bag, especially
since lawyers now know there is a lumber product in the national
supply chain that offers a warranty against mold that is truly
cost-effective for every wood-framed building. What arguments can a
Lumber Retailer or Builder's Defense Attorney have now that this
solution exists, and it's available anywhere in the US? In the near
future, don't be surprised if you see Eco on national TV where mold
is being compared to what 60 Minutes recently reported on about
formaldehyde concerns with flooring products affecting indoor air
quality." Conboy went on to add that "Just last week, a residential
tract builder in San Diego
inquired about Eco's fire protection because the building
department mandated fire protection on all exterior architectural
details for these two new tracts of houses. When Eco's Technical
Team followed up with the builder, they said they avoided the issue
courtesy of a loophole in the Building Code."
Frank Dicopoulos of NJ Discover recently commented on
Steve Conboy and Eco Building
Products: "Steve, Eco Red Shield and
Eco Building Products is truly onto something, and you should not
be seen as a whistle-blower; you should be commended not only in
the media, but in the workplace as well! There is mounting interest
coming in from TV shows on the History Channel and the Fox Business
Network. They know Eco is on to something with its patent-pending
technology against mold, fire, wood-rot decay, and insects. With
all the buzz about air quality, with respect to the 60 Minutes
piece on Lumber Liquidators and toxic VOC's, and the recent white
paper report from UL Economist Erin
Grossi about her findings on poor indoor air quality and the
rising number of successful lawsuits around poor air quality, Eco
is about to explode! Ernie Anastos
(Fox's multi award winning anchor) and Fox News had you on as one
of the leading difference makers in the world today! You just spoke
at the United Nations at the InfoPoverty World Conference on the
importance of Green Defensive Building. The New York Times just released an article about the
impending severe drought that California and the rest of the country is
going to be faced with; which means catastrophic brush, home, and
building fires. The time is now for Eco! I have you in front of 60
Minutes and Dr. Oz right now. People need to know immediately that
they do not have to be the victims anymore – that they can be
pro-active instead of reactive when it comes to building in the
future. I just co-hosted Pittsburgh Today Live on CBS in
Pittsburgh and the Executive
Producer for the show allowed me to introduce Eco Red Shield to the viewing audience because
she felt it was important information and could help people. NBC
News and longtime and well respected reporter Brian Thompson did the piece on Eco and fire
protection because it was deemed important and responsibly relevant
information. A big box stocks some of this product in my area and
now numerous lumberyards, builders, and architects are all coming
aboard because they get it. They see where the future is going in
the Lumber and Building Industry. Toxicity, VOC's, mold, fire,
insects, health, and the environment, all need to be addressed and
resolved now. It is my job in media and my responsibility as a
celebrity and role model to my fans, to bring the viewing audience
your vision and technology as it pertains to Eco. Due to the
overwhelming response from so many different media sources,
builders, architects, networks, magazines, newspapers, and World
organizations, you are on to something! When I was filming a
documentary down at the Jersey
Shore, post Super Storm Sandy on all the devastation, and
saw all these homes being re-built with Eco Red Shield Lumber, I
wanted to know what it was all about. Being a Sandy victim myself
with my home and family, I was extremely curious why this red
lumber showed up in the retail big box stores in our area. Well now
that I have learned and seen firsthand the Company, the products,
and the application, there is no question in my mind that
Steve Conboy and Eco Building
Products is on to something, it's a game changer, and will single
handedly change the Building Industry now and into the future."
