Things are looking brighter for flooring special Lumber Liquidators ever since it found out it was under investigation. Photo: Wikimedia Commons.

Normally, an announcement that Lumber Liquidators was under investigation by the Consumer Products Safety Commission wouldn't propel its stock 10% higher. However, that news was really the best thing that could have happened to the flooring specialist in the wake of the devastating 60 Minutes report on the health risks posed by its wood flooring.

This new investigation could potentially allow Lumber Liquidators to restore its reputation , which was shredded by the CBS news magazine.

Floored by the accusations Although it took Lumber Liquidators a bit of time to respond to the allegations made against it, when it did make a statement the flooring specialist came out swinging . Not onlydid it stand by the quality of its products, stating that they complied with all relevant regulations, but the company tore into the tests that were conducted to prove otherwise.

According to Lumber Liquidators, because formaldehyde is a naturally occurring chemical, it's going to be found in the home and in many household products, including its own laminate flooring. But the chemical breaks down over time and doesn't accumulate in the environment or the body so it is of little risk.

When first installed, its flooring can add about five parts per billion, or ppb, to the average household indoor air quality, which in urban areas ranges up to 20 ppb. The EPA, however, sets an acceptable air quality range anywhere from 20 ppb-100 ppb, suggesting the laminate flooring isn't a hazard even when at its most potent, immediately after installation.

And because it breaks down over time, after just one year in use the formaldehyde emissions are cut by more than half, down to just two ppb. After 10 years, it's less than one ppb.

Terracotta tile takes special installation Metro News Service The Times Leader

Homeowners looking for a rustic or weathered look for their flooring often rely on terracotta tile, a durable and versatile material that many feel gives a home a warm and earthy feel.

Terracotta tile comes in various finishes and has proven resistant to the growth of mold and bacteria. However, because it is very porous, terracotta tile absorbs moisture quickly, which means it must be sealed somewhat regularly to prevent cracking, discoloration and staining.

You may have seen the 60 Minutes investigation into Lumber Liquidators. It was damning, to say the least.

The investigation revealed that some tested floor samples were above acceptable levels for formaldehyde, a known cancer-causing chemical.

Now New York Senator Chuck Schumer is asking the Feds to get involved because of safety issues.

He also wants the Consumer Product Safety Commission to investigate and order a recall if they find the company's laminate flooring unsafe.

A Las Vegas woman says she is moving out of her home because she is afraid her brand new floors are toxic and making her sick.

Rosie Oakes recently paid $1,700 to put brand new wall-to-wall liquidator flooring inside her condominium.

"I don't want to live there, breathing this day after day. I want them to do something about it and I want them to do it today," Oakes said.

The flooring was installed in February and Oakes moved in shortly after the installation.

She says her eyes started watering within days, her dog developed an eye infection and her husband had trouble breathing.

"He woke me up at four in the morning coughing. The second day we were in the condo, coughing and coughing and I was like, what's wrong, are you okay? I couldn't get back to sleep, he was coughing so much," Oakes said.
