1. Enviro Hygienist Fry Suggests Criminal
Prosecution of Mold Offenders for Reckless
Endangerment
Certified Environmental Hygienist Phillip Fry advocates that mold offenders such
as real estate sellers, realtors, management companies, lenders, landlords, and
employers who knowingly sell, rent. or use houses, apartments, and commercial
buildings that contain elevated levels of mold growth be criminally prosecuted for
reckless endangerment of buyers, tenants, or employees.
Montrose, Michigan, August 24, 2015 -- "Mold offenders such as real estate sellers,
realtors, management companies, lenders, landlords, and employers who knowingly
sell, rent. or use houses, apartments, and commercial buildings that contain elevated
levels of mold growth should be criminally prosecuted for reckless endangerment of
buyers, tenants, or employees if they don't do prompt, effective, and safe mold
removal and remediation upon learning of mold infestations in the buildings that they
own, manage, rent, or sell," advocates Phillip Fry, Certified Environmental Hygienist,
Professional Industrial Hygienist, and webmaster since 1999 of the mold authority
website www.moldinspector.com.
Real estate sellers, landlords, and employers are legally responsible for not subjecting
buyers, tenants, and employees to hazardous, health-destroying conditions such as
elevated levels of indoor toxic mold growth, whether through accident or negligence.
Indoor moisture problems, if not taken care of properly, can spiral into big healthcare
lawsuits, lost business costs, pain and suffering, a reckless endangerment charge, and
dozens of other legal consequences.
Reckless endangerment is a crime that can be filed against people who engage in
activity with dangerous consequences that could be foreseen, with a disregard for the
danger involved. This charge may be a felony or a misdemeanor, depending on the
specifics of the situation. It can also be combined with other charges such as fraud.
In situations deemed reckless endangerment, people do something that they know is
dangerous, and they do not exhibit any thought about the potential consequences of
what they are doing. They willfully behave in a way that is wanton or reckless, putting
other people at risk. No intent to injure or kill is required; it is enough that the person

2. knew an activity could pose a threat and chose to do it anyway.
Real estate buyers, tenants, and employees can lay the ground work for a possible
reckless endangerment criminal prosecution or civil lawsuit by taking these steps---
1. Document the elevated levels of both visible and hidden toxic mold residence or
workplace with in depth, thorough, and professional mold inspection and testing,
including inside walls, ceilings, floors, attic, crawl space, basement, and
heating/cooling air ducts, by a Certified Environmental Hygienist, Professional
Industrial Hygienist, or Certified Industrial Hygienist.
2. Have the hygienist prepare a detailed mold remediation protocol plan that gets rid
of all of the mold growth in the inspected building in safe and effective ways.
3. Send both the hygienist's inspection report with mold lab results and the
remediation protocol plan by certified mail with return receipt to the owner and
manager of the moldy building, along with a written demand that the mold growth be
removed professionally and completely within a specific time period by qualified and
certified mold removal and remediation professionals, with clearance testing of the
building afterwards by a hygienist not involved in the mold cleanup project.
