COMPAC USA INC., BANKR. CASE NO. 24-23372-CLC
U.S. BANKRUPTCY COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
Para conservar su derecho a recibir compensación si tiene una Reclamación (según se define en 11 U.S.C. § 101(5)) por Silicosis u Otras Enfermedades Relacionadas, debe presentar una reclamación antes del 26 de agosto de 2025 a las 5:00 p.m. (ET).
El 21 de diciembre de 2024, Compac USA Inc. anteriormente conocida como Compacstone USA, Inc. (la "Compañía") presentó un procedimiento de bancarrota conforme al Subcapítulo V del Capítulo 11 del Código de Bancarrota de los EEUU, ante el Tribunal de Bancarrota del Distrito Sur de Florida. La Compañía vende superficies de piedra a distribuidores, fabricantes y contratistas de construcción, principalmente para su transformación. La Compañía no vende productos al público en general.
La Compañía ha sido demandada por personas que presuntamente estuvieron expuestas a sílice presente en sus productos al cortar o manipular dichos productos (las "Demandas"). La Compañía es una de muchas demandadas en dichas acciones, y la mayoría de las otras empresas son mucho más grandes. La Compañía niega que sus productos hayan causado daño alguno y sostiene que advirtió adecuadamente a todas las partes sobre los riesgos de manipular los productos sin las precauciones de seguridad indicadas. Hasta la fecha de este aviso, ningún demandante ha obtenido una sentencia en contra de la Compañía.
Dadas las alegaciones en las Demandas (que la Compañía niega), en las que se afirma que personas han sufrido Silicosis u Otras Enfermedades Relacionadas por el uso de los productos de la Compañía, el Tribunal de Bancarrota ha determinado que, para conservar su derecho a compensación si tiene una Reclamación (según la definición del 11 U.S.C. § 101(5)), debe presentar una prueba de reclamación antes del 26 de agosto de 2025 a las 5:00 p.m. (ET) (la "Fecha Límite de Reclamaciones"). Si no presenta una prueba de reclamación en o antes de esa fecha, no podrá votar sobre ningún plan de reorganización propuesto por la Compañía, no recibirá distribución alguna de parte de la Compañía y su Reclamación podrá ser cancelada sin pago alguno. Dicha cancelación implicará que su Reclamación contra la Compañía, derivada de o relacionada con Silicosis u Otras Enfermedades Relacionadas, quedará legalmente eliminada.Dadas las alegaciones en las Demandas (que la Compañía niega), en las que se afirma que personas han sufrido Silicosis u Otras Enfermedades Relacionadas por el uso de los productos de la Compañía, el Tribunal de Bancarrota ha determinado que, para conservar su derecho a compensación si tiene una Reclamación (según la definición del 11 U.S.C. § 101(5)), debe presentar una prueba de reclamación antes del 26 de agosto de 2025 a las 5:00 p.m. (ET) (la "Fecha Límite de Reclamaciones"). Si no presenta una prueba de reclamación en o antes de esa fecha, no podrá votar sobre ningún plan de reorganización propuesto por la Compañía, no recibirá distribución alguna de parte de la Compañía y su Reclamación podrá ser cancelada sin pago alguno. Dicha cancelación implicará que su Reclamación contra la Compañía, derivada de o relacionada con Silicosis u Otras Enfermedades Relacionadas, quedará legalmente eliminada.
¿Cuáles son los productos de la Compañía? La Compañía vende superficies decorativas, incluyendo mármol y cuarzo en losas, bajo diversos nombres y diseños de producto, tales como: Arena™, Ceniza™, Plomo™, Luna™, Alaska™, Nocturno™, Moon™, Snow™, Glaciar™, Elegance Michelangelo™, Unique Venatino™, Unique Arabescato™, Carrara™, Absolute Blanc™, Luxury Borghini™, Unique Argento™, Unique Calacatta™, Unique Calacatta Black™, Unique Calacatta Gold™, Unique Calacatta Macchia Vecchia™, Nebulous Gold™, Ice Max Pure™, Ice Max Gold™, Ice Max Viola™, Ice Max Green™, Ice White™, Ice Black™, and Ice Max Black™.
¿Qué son la Silicosis y Otras Enfermedades Relacionadas? La Silicosis es una enfermedad pulmonar causada por la inhalación de polvo de sílice cristalina respirable, generalmente por exposición ocupacional prolongada. Puede producir inflamación o cicatrización del tejido pulmonar, con síntomas como dificultad para respirar, tos, fatiga y, en casos avanzados, fallo respiratorio. Incluso si la exposición ocurrió hace muchos años, este aviso podría afectarlo. La Silicosis y Otras Enfermedades Relacionadas pueden manifestarse décadas después de la exposición al polvo de sílice. A los efectos de este aviso, "Otras Enfermedades Relacionadas" incluyen sarcoidosis, cáncer de pulmón, enfermedad renal crónica, trastornos autoinmunes o artritis reumatoide.
¿Cómo me podría afectar esto? Aunque la Compañía niega haber causado Silicosis u Otras Enfermedades Relacionadas, usted puede creer que usted o un ser querido pudo haber estado expuesto o estar sufriendo lesiones vinculadas a los productos de la Compañía. También puede presentar una reclamación en nombre de un familiar fallecido.
¿Qué debo hacer ahora? Si cree que usted o un familiar pueden tener una Reclamación, debe presentar una prueba de reclamación antes del 26 de agosto de 2025 a las 5:00 p.m. (ET). Aunque no tenga diagnóstico o síntomas, si tiene una Reclamación, debe presentarla para preservar su derecho a compensación. Visite https://www.flsb.uscourts.gov/file-proof-claim-electronically para presentar su reclamación en línea. Para obtener un formulario en papel, contacte a los abogados de la Compañía, Pack Law, como se indica más abajo. Para presentar el formulario en papel, envíelo por correo al tribunal: C. Clyde Atkins United States Courthouse, 301 N. Miami Ave., Room 150, Miami, FL 33128. Presentar una prueba de reclamación preserva su derecho a solicitar compensación a la Compañía. Puede hacerlo usted mismo o con la ayuda de un abogado. Llenar el formulario toma aproximadamente cinco minutos. Si cree que usted o un ser querido puede tener una Reclamación, se recomienda consultar a un abogado, ya que sus derechos podrían verse afectados por la Fecha Límite y/o el procedimiento de bancarrota.
¿Recibiré dinero si presento una reclamación? Este aviso no significa que usted haya estado expuesto a materiales perjudiciales ni que tenga derecho a recibir dinero ahora o en el futuro. Presentar la prueba de reclamación conserva su derecho a compensación si tiene una Reclamación, pero no garantiza que tenga o tendrá derecho a recibir dinero. No hay garantía de que el procedimiento de bancarrota resulte en pagos a los acreedores. Como la Compañía presentó su procedimiento bajo el Subcapítulo V del Capítulo 11, las distribuciones (si las hay) dependen de las proyecciones financieras posteriores a la bancarrota que se incluyen en el plan de reorganización. Es posible que los acreedores, incluyendo los que tienen Reclamaciones por Silicosis u Otras Enfermedades Relacionadas, reciban poco o ningún pago de la Compañía.
¿Qué pasa si no hago nada? Si usted tiene una Reclamación al momento de la presentación del procedimiento y no presenta oportunamente la prueba antes de la Fecha Límite, no podrá votar sobre el plan de reorganización, no recibirá pago alguno en la bancarrota y su Reclamación podrá ser eliminada sin compensación.
Obtener más información. Si desea recibir por correo electrónico copias de los documentos de bancarrota de la Compañía y otra información relacionada con el procedimiento de bancarrota de la Compañía, comuníquese con los abogados de la Compañía por teléfono al 305.916.4500, por correo electrónico a joe@packlaw.com y jessey@packlaw.com, o por carta dirigida a Pack Law, 51 NE 24th St #108, Miami, FL 33137.
Reserva de Derechos. Nada en este Aviso debe interpretarse como una renuncia por parte de la Compañía a: (a) defenderse contra cualquier Reclamación, ya sea presentada como prueba de reclamación u otra vía; (b) designar cualquier Reclamación como disputada, contingente o no determinada; y (c) modificar o complementar los listados de Reclamaciones de la Compañía.

COMPAC USA INC., BANKR. CASE NO. 24-23372-CLC
U.S. BANKRUPTCY COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
To Keep Your Right To Compensation If You Have a Claim (as Defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101(5)) for Silicosis or Other Related Illnesses, You Must Submit A Claim By August 26, 2025, 5:00 p.m. (ET).
On December 21, 2024, a bankruptcy case, under Subchapter V of chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, was filed by Compac USA Inc. f/k/a Compacstone USA, Inc. ("Company") in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida. Company sells stone surfaces to distributors, fabricators, and construction contractors primarily for fabrication. Company does not sell products to the general public.
Company has been sued by parties that allegedly were exposed to silica found in Company's products in the course of cutting or manipulating the products (the "Lawsuits"). Company is one of many defendants in the Lawsuits, and most defendants are much larger than Company. Company denies its products were the cause of any harm and believes it properly warned all parties of risks of manipulating the products without the disclosed safety precautions. No plaintiff has obtained a judgment against Company as of the date of this notice.
Given the allegations in the Lawsuits (which Company denies) that people have suffered from Silicosis or Other Related Illnesses in connection with Company's products, the Bankruptcy Court has decided in order to keep your right to compensation if you have a Claim (as Defined in 11 U.S.C. § 101(5)), you must submit a proof of claim by August 26, 2025, 5:00 p.m. (ET) (the "Claim Bar Date"). If you fail to submit a proof of claim on or before the Claim Bar Date you will be unable to vote on any chapter 11 plan proposed by Company, you will not receive a distribution from Company, and your Claim may be discharged without payment. A discharge will result in your Claim against Company arising from or related to Silicosis or Other Silicosis Related Illnesses being barred.
What are Company's Products? Company sells decorative surfaces, including marble and quartz slab surface coverings, under various product designs and names including: Arena™, Ceniza™, Plomo™, Luna™, Alaska™, Nocturno™, Moon™, Snow™, Glaciar™, Elegance Michelangelo™, Unique Venatino™, Unique Arabescato™, Carrara™, Absolute Blanc™, Luxury Borghini™, Unique Argento™, Unique Calacatta™, Unique Calacatta Black™, Unique Calacatta Gold™, Unique Calacatta Macchia Vecchia™, Nebulous Gold™, Ice Max Pure™, Ice Max Gold™, Ice Max Violaó, Ice Max Green™, Ice White™, Ice Black™, and Ice Max Black™.
What are Silicosis and Other Related Illnesses? Silicosis is a lung disease caused by the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust, typically through prolonged occupational exposure. The condition can result in inflammation/scarring of lung tissue, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, fatigue, and, in advanced cases, respiratory failure. Even if your exposure was many years ago, this notice could affect you. Silicosis and Other Related Illnesses can occur decades after the exposure to silica dust. As used herein, "Other Related Illnesses" are defined to include sarcoidosis, lung cancer, chronic kidney disease, autoimmune disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis.
How Could this Affect Me? Even though Company denies that it ever caused any Silicosis or Other Related Illnesses, you may believe that you or a loved one may have been exposed to or otherwise suffer from such injuries in connection with Company's products. You may also file a proof of claim on behalf of a deceased family member.
What do I do Now? If you believe that you or a family member may have a Claim, you must submit a proof of claim by August 26, 2025, 5:00 p.m. (ET). Even if you have not been diagnosed with a disease or experience symptoms, if you have a Claim, you must submit a proof of claim to preserve your right to compensation. Go to https://www.flsb.uscourts.gov/file-proof-claim-electronically to submit your proof of claim online. For a paper proof of claim form, contact Company's counsel, Pack Law, as set forth below. To file a paper proof of claim, mail it to the Clerk's office at C. Clyde Atkins United States Courthouse, 301 N. Miami Ave., Room 150, Miami, FL 33128. Submitting a proof of claim preserves your right to ask for money from Company. You can submit a proof of claim yourself or you can ask a lawyer to help you. Completing a proof of claim takes about five minutes. If you believe you or a loved one may have a Claim, Company recommends you consult with an attorney to determine whether to file a Claim, as your rights may be affected by the Claim Bar Date and/or the bankruptcy case.
Will I get Money if I Submit a Claim? This notice does not mean that you were exposed to any allegedly harmful material or that you are eligible to receive money now or in the future. Submitting a proof of claim keeps your right to receive compensation if you have a Claim, but does not guaranty you are or will be eligible to receive money. There is no guaranty that Company's bankruptcy case will result in recoveries for holders of Claims. Since Company filed a case and submitted a plan under Subchapter V of chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, distributions (if any) are dependent on the post-bankruptcy financial projections set forth in the attachments to Company's plan. It is possible that creditors, including Silicosis and Other Related Illnesses claimants, will receive little if any recovery from Company.
What if I do Nothing? If you have a Claim as of the petition date and do not timely submit a proof of claim by the Claim Bar Date, you will not be able to vote on any chapter 11 plan proposed by Company, you will not receive any payment from Company's bankruptcy, and your Claim may be discharged without any payment.
