Lumber Liquidators is in the news again, this time because of its vinyl laminate flooring. On November 17, a release published by Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families, "a non-profit organization that challenges U.S. retailers to adopt policies to identify, restrict and phase out hazardous chemicals from the marketplace by safely substituting the Hazardous 100+ chemicals in common consumer products," said that Lumber Liquidators has committed to selling vinyl flooring made without reprocessed PVC. The Mind the Store Campaign, a project of Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families, announced in its release that because of its findings, Lumber Liquidators has adopted new standards that require the company's suppliers of vinyl flooring to end all use of reprocessed PVC in vinyl flooring and limit lead in flooring to less than 100 parts per million.
