Laminated Wood Flooring From China

There have been a lot of stories in the news this year about laminated wood flooring imported from China containing dangerously high levels of formaldehyde. An investigation by ’60 Minutes’ earlier this year of products sold by Lumber Liquidators has led to both criminal investigations and civil lawsuits against the company. Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. Laminated wood flooring with very high levels of formaldehyde sold by Lumber Liquidators was installed in tens of thousands of houses across the United States before the scandal broke. I always try to be careful in selecting that materials that I use in my rentals. There is no laminated wood flooring in any of my rentals.
