Customer Review: Something to know about this book display...
Summary: 1 Stars
I wanted this book display for my daughter's room, and read a lot of great reviews here on Amazon, especially complimentary descriptions of the fine carving on the side, which would lead one to believe this product is made of solid wood.
However, I called the company prior to ordering it and asked about the materials it was made from. MDF (medium density fiberboard) was the representative's reply. According to the EPA, MDF contains a higher resin-to-wood ratio than any other UF pressed wood product and is generally recognized as being the highest formaldehyde-emitting pressed wood product.
I further inquired into whether Guidecraft makes an effort to cut down on indoor environmental pollutants in their pressed wood, by using safer glues, and setting limits on formaldehyde content. The response was no, and that this bookcase does indeed contain formaldehyde, but that Guidecraft has no information available on what level, as this is not something that they monitor or have set regulations concerning.
According to all major health organizations, formaldehyde can cause watery eyes, burning sensations in the eyes and throat, nausea, and difficulty in breathing in some humans exposed at elevated levels (above 0.1 parts per million). High concentrations may trigger attacks in people with asthma. There is evidence that some people can develop a sensitivity to formaldehyde. It has also been shown to cause cancer in animals and may cause cancer in humans. Health effects include eye, nose, and throat irritation; wheezing and coughing; fatigue; skin rash; severe allergic reactions.
For those who will undoubtably find this review unhelpful, I hope you'll consider that with all the China recalls these days, it's a risky venture to purchase a product with known toxins for your child, made in a country that continually manufactures massively toxic products, by a company who admits that it has no oversight.
All else aside, I wish more people would warn others about the scary things we're bringing into our homes and exposing our kids to.... Until then, I guess I'll just keep calling every company I buy from.
