After a “60 Minutes” program revealed that a range of products had been proven to release formaldehyde at levels several times higher than California rules allow, laminate flooring came under some criticism in recent years (California seems to be the only state with real regulations on this).

Formaldehyde is a substance that exists naturally in the world and has been utilized in many household items for many years. It’s difficult rather than necessarily safe or dangerous. To safeguard your health, you should generally try to limit your exposure to formaldehyde.

As a result, it’s crucial to check whether the brand you’re contemplating complies with the formaldehyde emissions guideline. The current California Air Resources Board standard, known as CARB2, states that laminate and other composite wood composites must release no more formaldehyde than 0.05 to 0.13 parts per million.
