Question from Jen
Hi,
I was wondering what you thought of California 93120 compliant for formaldehyde, phase 1?
www.arb.ca.gov/regact/2007/compwood07/fro-final.pdf
I just purchased a small wood shelf that I thought was solid but apparently it is not but it did have a small sticker on it stating the above (even though I am in CO).
Debra’s Answer
I didn’t read all 59 pages, but it appears to be a phase-out program. Compliance with these regulations does not mean NO formaldehyde, nor even safe levels of formaldehyde. It looks to be a gradual decrease of formaldehyde in certain wood products from now through 2012.
