Toxic Laminate Flooring from Lumber Liquidators

[Randy Fahrenkrog]

For anyone out there in the BP community who may have, or is considering, buying laminate flooring from lumber Liquidators for their Fix n Flip or worse yet, for a buy n hold check out tonight's episode on 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper on this topic. Allegedly  Lumber Liquidators has been buying their laminate flooring from Chinese manufacturers who have been knowingly falsely labeling their products as Callifornia CARB Phase 2 compliant when it actually has well above the maximum formaldehyde limit levels. They pulled samples in several states from CA to FL and all had a significant percent of the samples showing levels that were up to fifteen times the designated safety level. We need to be aware of the safety issues regarding the products we use in our industry as health issues from environmental causes effect not just our investment but our livelyhood
