Installation issues ? Too many varients to your question in order to correctly answer.
Sounds like it wasn't properly installed. You might have to disassemble back to the board that didn't seperate, and make sure you tap them in using a mallet and chunk of wood, or maybe it was supposed to be nailed using a flooring nail gun (rent). You might call the manufacturer to see what they recommend. I would watch a video or two on YouTube to get the hang of it.
Heck I would call out whoever installed to see what they recommend. I don't think it could shrink that much in a humid climate like Florida, that would more likely lead to buckling from not enough area being left along the walls for expansion/contraction. You could also call the manufacturer, and tell them it was professionally installed, and send them a photo of whats happening.
Yes some of those laminate floors from Lumber Liquidators have recalls on their products, and they have replaced many in our area.
Decisions only you can make Grammy. Its pretty difficult to help on an issue such as yours without seeing it first hand. I wish you good luck & blessings on getting it fixed !
