Should You Be Worried About Toxic Chemicals in Engineered Hardwood?

More than a few residents of Boynton Beach and West Palm Beach, Florida have been wondering if they should be concerned about toxic chemicals in hardwood and engineered hardwood products. Much of this concern came about because of recent news story that appeared on WPTV. The story focused on a plan developed by a large lumber company in which they offered to test for formaldehyde in some of their flooring products. The offer for the free testing came about because of consumer concerns that some flooring products made in China were releasing formaldehyde into their homes.

Quantum Floors wants to put to rest any concern that may arise because of this news story.
?Lumber Liquidators says the allegations do not involve solid finished or unfinished hardwood, Bellawood, engineered hardwood, bamboo, cork, vinyl, or laminate sourced outside of China. The company says formaldehyde is a natural byproduct found in many home products and does not accumulate in the environment or the body.?
