Couple Claims Grout Sealed Their Sex Life

A couple is suing Home Depot and the manufacturers of a grout sealing product for $111 million - including a $1 million claim that the product destroyed their sex life.

Jay Flynn of Lilburn, Ga., and his wife Laura, said that he became ill and was hospitalized for four days after using an allegedly defective batch of Tile Perfect Stand'N Seal Grout Sealer in July 2005.

According to the lawsuit, doctors told Flynn his lungs were permanently damaged by fumes from the product, which left him with only half his normal breathing capacity.

As a result, Flynn had to quit his job as a product manager and stop coaching his son's baseball team. In addition, his "once active" love life has suffered.

The couple is seeking $100 million in punitive damages, $10 million for injuries and $1 million for harm to their love life.
