New Study Finds Toxic Chemicals Widespread in Flooring Sold by Top Retailers
PR Newswire - Wed Apr 22, 6:01AM CDT
A new study found that most vinyl flooring tested contained toxic phthalates, a number of which have been banned in children's products since 2009. The flooring samples tested were purchased from major home improvement retailers including Lowe's and Lumber Liquidators. Researchers found that, of 65 vinyl flooring tiles tested, 38 (58 percent), contained phthalates. Phthalates are commonly found in flooring at levels which exceed U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) children's product standards for phthalates. The study also surveyed major retailers to assess whether they have adopted policies to eliminate phthalates in flooring. The survey found that The Home Depot is far ahead of its competitors by requiring its suppliers to eliminate ortho-phthalates in all virgin vinyl flooring by the end of 2015.

Construction defect law firm Robertson & Associates, LLP, filed a RICO class action lawsuit today against Lumber Liquidators, Inc.
