LUMBER LIQUIDATORS

60 Minutes Reports Health & Safety Violations


Lumber Liquidators has been under fire after a '60 Minutes' investigation found that their Chinese made laminate flooring had 6 to 7 times the amount of toxic formaldehyde permitted by US health and safety standards. The company's hardwood and bamboo flooring, which I am interested in using, doesn't have any issues nor does their American made laminate flooring. I am still considering using Lumber Liquidators in the Starter Home 2.0 project, but will need to see how the company's situation plays out the next few weeks before selecting flooring finishes. Below is the '60 Minutes' piece that aired this past Sunday.
