Lawsuits: Lumber Liquidators Flooring Contains Unsafe Formaldehyde Levels

As previously reported, claimants allege that the flooring in question contains unsafe levels of formaldehyde. When present at high levels, formaldehyde can produce a strong smell and be highly flammable. It has also been classified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.” Allegations also include that the company misrepresented the Chinese-made laminate flooring by concealing that it did not meet the standards of California formaldehyde regulations.

As cases are consolidated in the Eastern District of Virginia, it will allow coordination with a proposed class action lawsuit filed in that district in 2013. The class action claims that Lumber Liquidators misrepresented the company’s Chinese-made flooring and illegally harvested wood from Russian forests. The company is facing additional federal and state probes regarding the accuracy of home-testing kits it sent to customers following the first reported incidents of excess formaldehyde.

Affected Customers May Be Entitled to Compensation

 Makers of laminate flooring have a duty to provide a safe product. If this duty is not fulfilled, and a laminate flooring product poses a danger to people, the product maker can potentially be held liable for injuries that may result.

People who have been affected by Lumber Liquidators laminate flooring may be entitled to compensation for damages that may have resulted from the flooring in their home or business.
