Belmont Carpet& Wood Flooring, Incorporated Case Settles for $10,000
On February 13, 2019, a case was settled with Belmont Carpet& Wood Flooring, Incorporated (Anaheim, California) for selling, supplying, and offering for sale in California non-compliant finished goods that contained medium density fiberboard. The products, Sierra Collection Sappelli and Scottsdale Durham, contained formaldehyde emissions above the limits set forth in the Airborne Toxic Control Measure to Reduce Formaldehyde Emissions from Composite Wood Products (ATCM), which has been in effect since January 1, 2009. In addition, Belmont Carpet & Wood Flooring, Incorporated was found in violation of not taking reasonable and prudent precautions because they purchased and sold finished goods containing composite wood products without written documentation from their supplier stating that the products comply with California Air Resource Board’s emission standards. Belmont Carpet & Wood Flooring, Incorporated has since made improvements to their best management plan to ensure that only compliant composite wood products are sold. Belmont Carpet & Wood Flooring, Incorporated has agreed to pay $10,000.00 to settle this case.
