Lumber Liquidators Wins Tentative Ruling in Labeling Case

Toana, VA, April 5, 2016-- Lumber Liquidators won a tentative ruling dismissing claims that it failed to adequately warn consumers about cancer-causing formaldehyde found in some of its laminate flooring, according to Bloomberg.

If the decision by a state court judge in Oakland, California becomes final, it will end a trial over whether the company provided “clear and reasonable” notice about its products’ health risks.

Lumber Liquidators was accused by nonprofit environmental health group Global Community Monitor of violating California’s Proposition 65, which requires explicit warnings for consumer products containing substances that may cause cancer or birth defects.
