So would you allow Lumber Liquidator's formaldehyde flooring to be
installed in your home?

I damn sure wouldn't!


I'm not showing favor to Lumber Liquidators and certainly know that
Chinese dry wall had a similar if not worse problem. I'm just wondering
how bad the problem is as I know that CA has the tightest regulations.

As Oren points out it is not just new flooring that might out gas
formaldehyde and new carpeting out gasses lots of similar goodies.

If flooring had sat in a ware house at length, formaldehyde level may be
acceptable.


Recall in recent years, drywall from China cost homeowner's plenty of
money. Law suits in Florida and other Southern states. People were
sickened and suffered health issues from off gassing of formaldehyde.
