JAMES CITY - Lumber Liquidators, the Toano-based national wood flooring manufacturer, is facing a new lawsuit in relation to flooring made from Chinese wood.

A California environmental activist group, Global Community Monitor, filed suit Wednesday n state superior court in Oakland. It alleges formaldehyde emission levels from Lumber Liquidators flooring, according to recent tests, are more than 100 times the level allowed under California law.

Lumber Liquidators' website claims that all of its flooring meets California standards.

Plaintiffs conducted more than 50 tests of Lumber Liquidators Chinese-made laminate flooring, using a variety of different testing methods and sample batches, according to the Global Community Monitor complaint. Test results showed average initial formaldehyde exposures over 100 times above the amount allowed to be sold without a warning label under Proposition 65, Californias main toxics law.

Lumber Liquidators quickly denied the allegations.

The allegations in this lawsuit concerning our product are simply flat-out false, Lumber Liquidators said in a statement issued Wednesday afternoon. Our product meets relevant environmental standards and undergoes rigorous, independent, third party testing.

More specifically, our internal testing and that conducted by third parties concluded that product levels fell well below the Proposition 65 safe harbor limits, the statement continued. Further, Lumber Liquidators products are produced and independently tested to ensure compliance with the low emissions standards set by the California Air Resource Board. We apply these stringent California standards to products we sell nationwide.

Formaldehyde is commonly used in the glue that holds laminate flooring together. During and after installation, Global Community Monitor claims it can be released as a gas that can cause burning eyes, nose and throat irritation, coughing, headaches, dizziness, joint pain and nausea. Both the federal government and the state of California rank formaldehyde as a carcinogen if there is long-term exposure.

The levels of formaldehyde our tests found in Lumber Liquidators laminate flooring are astounding and alarming, said Denny Larson, executive director of Global Community Monitor, in a press release announcing the suit. Its unconscionable that Lumber Liquidators would sell this product to customers to install in their homes without informing families of the potential health risks involved, especially since they make a point of bragging about how environmentally safe it is.

California's Proposition 65 requires products containing chemicals that cause cancer to carry a warning label if the levels exceed the so-called safe harbor level.

To the editor:

I just have to respond to John Hearns letter to The Courier on July 23. He, like many others is a proponent of a fence along the border. But a fence will do little but temporarily obstruct the flow. Has Hearn ever been to the border in Arizona or New Mexico? The ground is soft sand. It would only take three healthy men with shovels a day to tunnel under any fence. Fences are meant to keep out honest people. Most houses in neighborhoods are fenced in and we still have home burglaries.

If you want to stop the flow you need to put up a wall. Since Hearn is concerned about the measly $4 billion dollars Obama requested, think about the $10 trillion it would take to build and maintain a wall. Israel has walled in their borders and has electronic sensors and armed guards at almost every point. Their entire border is less than a third of Texas border, and they spend a large part of their national budget on border security and they are still penetrated.

Capitalism and freedom is the cause of border migration. The economic pressure for cheap products and services it the root cause of the billion dollar human smuggling industry. In fact both human smuggling and the illegal drug trade separately generate more economic effects than Americas combined gold and silver mining industry. To stop the flow you need to address demand. Make a law that says if a person is caught having an illegal immigrant mow their lawn, clean their house or conduct repairs the government would take that persons house without compensation. But nobody wants to go there.

We can make illegal immigration virtually a thing of the past. All we have to do is turn the United States of America into East Germany. Wall in our borders, give people citizens papers, set up millions of government check points, have the government dictate who companies can and cannot hire and allow arrests for any reason the secret police believes is warranted. But nobody wants to go there either.

Hearn wrote We cannot long remain a country without secure borders In reality the borders have been porous for the last 170 years and during that time America has grown into a great power and premier country. And also in reality the border will be porous for the next 170 years and America will be just fine. Because nobody wants to turn the USA into East Germany just to stop the flow of people across the border.

Illegal immigration is just an unpleasant fact of life like tornados, hurricanes and floods. You can not stop it no matter how many ICE agents or national guardsman you throw at the problem. All you can do is put in policies and systems to mitigate the after effect. So the paranoid and frustrated, John Hearn and others like him are only engaging in petty politics.
