Business ProfileforHarris Research, Inc.

On June 16, 2023 N-Hance came out to refinish my cabinets. I asked the team was the product toxic and was informed no. I informed them ( and the representative at the time of the sale) that I am a breast cancer survivor who works from home and limit my exposure to toxic chemicals due to my previous health issue. I was informed that the products were not toxic. Within 24 after application I became ill, nauseous, low appetite, spontaneous runny noses, diarrhea. I had both the kitchen cabinets and the window sill refinished and the sill emitted a heavy odor that sickened me. I could barely stand to enter the kitchen. I had to keep windows open and a fan going for weeks. I called N-Hance who uses the pigment supplied by Harris Research and was told that the product should not have any odor. I requested SDS sheets that were dated March 2009 showing that the product used contained asbestos amongst other harmful chemicals. Using this product on my cabinets meant that I would never be able to refinish them as asbestos is most harmful when friable. Adam, with N-Hance, continued to negate my experience and told me that according to the chemist with Harris Research, the product is not toxic nor does it emit an odor when cured with the UV light. I explained to Adam that the representative must have forgotten to cure the shelf as the odor was heavy and sickening. I asked Adam for documentation to substantiate the chemist's claims. Adam, did not send the documentation but instead forwarded another SDS sheet for the N-hance vivid pigments showing the use of other toxic products. In addition, the team who applied the product did not use proper PPE, they got the product all over my painted walls and did not use proper cleaning or disposal method. For now, I have to continue to keep the window sill covered in plastic and keep four air purifiers going in hopes that the fumes in the air to do not permanently harm me, my husband or 10 year old grandson.
