The concerns over formaldehyde are not really new. This issue has been around for 20+ years, especially in the wood products industry.
The IARCi (International Agency for Research on Cancer) in 2006 re-classified urea formaldehydei from a probable human carcinogen to a known human carcinogen.
This ruling has essentially ended the debate, however the fallout will continue for years.
This whole situation will likely resemble the asbestos issue.
