Lumber Liquidators Chinese Fraud......

Here is one more example…..In case you still needed another.
An American company instead of hiring Americans (which would help our economy) they decided to hire the Communist Chinese. Once again we see the results are the same as always.
Not only did US workers lose but the consumer also lost (again). Now the consumers home is contaminated with Toxic Formaldehyde tainted flooring. Oh good!
The tradition continues….. Whether it is toys covered in Lead Paint. Whether it is Tainted Chicken Treats that will kill your dog. Whether it is tainted flooring that will sicken your family. The common thread is always the same……YOU LOSE.
See if it will increase a companies profit margin…… and the only down side is your family gets sick….Well that is a no brainer. That will be a YES every time. Your family is not important……What is important is money. The more the better.
Enjoy your new flooring.
Lumber Liquidators laminate flooring is made in (Communist Red) China may fail to meet health and safety standards, because it contains high levels of formaldehyde, a known cancer causing chemical.
We believe there are probably tens of thousands of households in California that have installed Lumber Liquidators Chinese laminates that may exceed formaldehyde standards
Nationwide, its probably hundreds of thousands.
Drury and Larson bought more than 150 boxes of laminate flooring at stores around California and sent them to three certified labs for a series of tests. The results? While laminate flooring from Home Depot and Lowes had acceptable levels of formaldehyde, as did Lumber Liquidators American-made laminates, every single sample of Chinese-made laminate flooring from Lumber Liquidators failed to meet California formaldehyde emissions standards. Many by a large margin.
The average level in Lumber Liquidators products that we found was over six to seven times above the state standard for formaldehyde. And we found some that were close to 20 times above the level that's allowed to be sold.
Richard Drury: It's a startling amount. It was so high, in fact, that one of our test labs thought their machine was broken.
Denny Larson: It hit the upper limit on the radar gun. And they thought it was broken.
Dr. Philip Landrigan: It's not a safe level, it's a level that the US EPA calls polluted indoor conditions.
Dr. Philip Landrigan: I would say long-term exposure at that level would be risky because it would increase the risk for chronic respiratory irritation, change in a person's lung function, increased risk of asthma. It's not going to produce symptoms in everyone but children will be the people most likely to show symptoms at that sort of level.
And on their website, Lumber Liquidators promises that all of their flooring "meets or exceeds rigorous emissions standards" and they say "we not only comply with laws, we exceed them."
