                          IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                             FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY
   ROBIN    MINOR,      on behalf of
   herself and all others   similarly situated,
                    Plaintiff,                                CIVIL ACTION NO.
           vs.                                                CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT
   CONGOLEUM          CORPORATION,
                    Defendant.
                                      NATURE OF THE CASE
           1.       This is  a putative class  action  on behalf of Robin Minor  ("Plaintiff") and  a
   class of all others    similarly situated against Congoleum Corporation ("Defendant"            or
  "Congoleum"),       the manufacturer of DuraCeramic floor tiles used for commercial,
   industrial, institutional and residential flooring applications
           2.       Defendant's tiles     are  plagued by design     flaws that result in  chipping,
  flaking, cracking and scratching.        Yet Defendant continues to sell them to the    public and
  continues    to make false   representations and warranties, despite the fact that the tiles    are
  defective and will    eventually fail, costing consumers substantial removal     and  replacement
  costs.
           3.       This class action seeks    damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief, costs,
  attorneys' fees,    and other relief     as a  result of Defendant's willful, wanton,     reckless,
  and/or  grossly negligent     conduct in    causing  consumers' homes to be in    a defective and
  unfit condition for habitation.
