LOS ANGELES--()--Robertson & Associates, LLP., is currently investigating claims by consumers for a class action lawsuit against Lumber Liquidators, Inc. (NYSE: LL) for allegedly violating California's False Advertising Law and Unfair Competition Law by selling laminate wood flooring which contains a known carcinogen, formaldehyde, in levels which far exceed California's Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) adopted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in April 2007.

Lumber Liquidators, which reportedly had estimated annual sales of $1.1 billion in 2014, is one of the largest specialty retailers of hardwood and laminate flooring in the United States, with over 340 stores in 46 states, including 36 stores in California.

Recently published tests conducted by Global Community Monitor have shown that laminate flooring manufactured in China and sold by Lumber Liquidators contains unsafe emissions of formaldehyde, which emissions are over six times those of laminate flooring manufactured in the U.S.

According to a March 1, 2015, CBS News "60 Minutes" report, Lumber Liquidators has sold laminate wood flooring with hazardous levels of formaldehyde which exceed the standards established in 2007 by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The EPA has classified formaldehyde as a "probable human carcinogen." National Cancer Institute researchers have concluded that, based on data from studies in people and from lab research, exposure to formaldehyde may cause leukemia, particularly myeloid leukemia, in humans.

Formaldehyde also causes burning eyes, nose and throat irritation, coughing, headaches, dizziness, joint pain and nausea. Formaldehyde has also been linked to the exacerbation of asthma in sensitive individuals.

If you or someone you know purchased Chinese-made laminate flooring from Lumber Liquidators, you may have been exposed to formaldehyde.
