After a month passed with no response from Lumber Liquidators regarding the formaldehyde test, the family hired a private company to test the flooring and air in their home. The test results indicated that the Lumber Liquidators’ flooring had formaldehyde levels ten times the targeted levels and the family’s home air had formaldehyde levels four times the targeted levels. The family immediately moved out of their home and stayed with relatives until the Lumber Liquidators’ flooring was removed from their home and replaced with safe flooring. Since moving out of the house and replacing the flooring, the family’s two year old child has not has any more symptoms of formaldehyde exposure.
