High formaldehyde levels found in some baby furniture
Cribs and changing tables may be exposing babies to unhealthy levels of formaldehyde, according to a new environmental report.
In a report published today, Environment California found a half dozen products — out of 21 nursery furnishings it tested emitted formaldehyde at levels high enough to trigger allergy and asthma attacks in children.
Cribs and changing tables from Child Craft, Delta, Stork Craft, South Shore Furniture, and Jardine Enterprises had high formaldehyde emissions, the report found.
