Floors from 1,300 homes tested to date were below remediation guideline level; affected consumers encouraged to request free test kit

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with Lumber Liquidators, of Toano, Va., the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is announcing that Lumber Liquidators has agreed to not resume sales of laminate wood flooring previously imported from China.  The company also agreed to continue conducting a comprehensive testing program as part of a recall program that affects consumers who purchased Chinese-made laminate flooring from Lumber Liquidators during a three-year period.  In homes where the Chinese-made laminate flooring is found to emit elevated levels of formaldehyde, the company will provide any required remediation.

 

Today’s announcement is not intended to cause consumers to pull up Chinese-made laminate flooring installed in their home.  That approach could expose residents to increased formaldehyde levels.  Instead, consumers should contact Lumber Liquidators to participate in this testing program.

 

Out of an abundance of caution, Lumber Liquidators has tested the air quality in more than 17,000 households and has retained third-party certified laboratories to conduct formaldehyde emissions tests for about 1,300 of those consumers’ floors.  None of those floors has tested above the remediation guideline. 

 

About 614,000 consumers nationwide purchased Chinese-made laminate flooring through Lumber Liquidators from 2011 through May 2015.  Today’s announcement comes after Lumber Liquidators suspended the sale of Chinese-made laminate flooring in May 2015 and announced its decision not to sell about 22 million board feet of this flooring.  Any future sale, disposal or transfer of the inventory can only take place with CPSC’s approval.

 

Lumber Liquidators will continue its voluntary program to test for formaldehyde emissions in consumers’ homes. Lumber Liquidators and the CPSC encourage consumers who purchased Chinese-made laminate flooring from the company from February 2012 through May 2015 to request a badge kit and screening test. There is no cost for the kits.

 

For consumers found to have elevated levels of formaldehyde in their homes, Lumber Liquidators will contact them for more extensive testing of their laminate flooring. Based on these test results, Lumber Liquidators has agreed to work with consumers to reduce the formaldehyde emissions levels and improve the indoor air quality of the home. If those efforts are unsuccessful, the company will pay for a certified industrial hygienist to examine the home and propose an additional remedy for the homeowner.  The additional remedy would be free to the consumer and could involve replacement of the flooring or repairs to the home.

 

Consumers should immediately contact Lumber Liquidators to request a free testing kit by calling 800-366-4204 between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, or between 11:00 a.m. through 7:00 p.m. on Sunday; or visit http://www.lumberliquidators.com/ll/testkit.

 

Investigation Findings

 

The company’s actions come as CPSC has completed its evaluation of the safety of laminated flooring imported by Lumber Liquidators from China since 2011. Since the spring of 2015, the federal government has dedicated significant resources to determining if the Chinese-manufactured laminate flooring sold by Lumber Liquidators and installed in homes represents a health risk.  The flooring was the focus of a 60 Minutes segment in March 2015 alleging that certain boards did not meet current California Air Resources Board standards for formaldehyde emission. 

 

On March 25, 2015, CPSC Chairman Elliot F. Kaye announced that the agency had opened an investigation into the matter. CPSC staff purchased samples of the product and contracted with certified laboratories to test for formaldehyde release from those flooring samples reported by 60 Minutes to have the highest formaldehyde emission.  CPSC also requested that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (NCEH/ATSDR) evaluate the testing results for possible human health effects from formaldehyde released into indoor air from this China-manufactured laminate flooring.  CPSC staff reviewed the ATSDR report and substantially concurred with their findings.

 

CPSC and ATSDR determined that eye, nose, and throat irritation could occur with the higher formaldehyde emitting flooring samples in certain home environments. Irritation can happen in anyone, but is more likely among children, older adults, and people with respiratory issues, such as asthma or other breathing problems. Very high levels of formaldehyde in homes may also be associated with a small increase in cancer risk.

 

Some homes may already have high levels of formaldehyde emitted from products other than laminate flooring, such as cabinets, furniture or curtains, or from environmental tobacco smoke.

 

Lumber Liquidators agreed that its future laminate flooring products will be subject to enhanced supplier controls designed to achieve compliance with California formaldehyde requirements and any future federal requirements for laminate flooring.  Currently, Lumber Liquidators’ laminate flooring only comes from North America and Europe.

CDC Press Release: More Men Using Family Planning Services

Press Release

 

Thursday, June 16, 2016

 

Contact: CDC Media Relations

(404) 639-3286

 

More Men Using Family Planning Services

Trend suggests increase, but men still a small percentage of family planning users

 

More men are visiting Title X Family Planning Program sites, according to a report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the HHS Office of Population Affairs (OPA) in observance of June's Men's Health Month.

 

From 2003 through 2014, a total of 3.8 million men visited Title X service sites in the 50 states and District of Columbia. The percentage of male clients nearly doubled from 4.5 percent (221,425 males) in 2003 to 8.8 percent (362,531 males) in 2014. 

 

"The growing trend in men's use of family planning services is very encouraging," said Wanda Barfield, director of CDC's Division of Reproductive Health. "Men have family planning needs that not only have implications for their sexual and reproductive health, but also can have an impact on their overall health."

 

Since it was established in 1970, the National Title X Family Planning Program has supported the delivery of cost-effective and confidential family planning and related preventive health care with priority for services to low-income women and men. In 2014, about 4 million clients, more than 90 percent of whom were female, were served through approximately 4,100 Title X-funded service sites.

 

"Title X-funded sites provide a broad range of services, patient education, and referrals that are important in meeting the family planning needs of both male and female clients," said Susan Moskosky, acting director of OPA. "OPA has actively worked to increase the number of males who use Title X services by funding projects and trainings during the past 15 years to improve outreach and appropriate male-centered service delivery." 

 

In 2014, CDC and OPA released the recommendations, Providing Quality Family Planning Services, which outlined family planning services for men including education and counseling on a range of issues related to preventing or achieving pregnancy, including preconception, infertility, contraception, and sexually transmitted disease (STD) care.
