Anyone know of any AS formaldehyde issues?

ABC News "Buries" RV Industry

In an article titled "Embalmed in Your RV: Formaldehyde Poisons Vacationers", an ABC News reporter aptly describes how the toxic chemical used in cabinetry can cause respiratory distress - and even cancer.

JD Gallant, co-founder of RV Consumer Group, wrote about the harmful effects of formaldehyde in the 1980's. It is amazing to us that the RV industry is still using such a known carcinogen when building structures that, for whatever the reasons, thousands of consumers are using as temporary or permanent homes. This is yet another proof of how the RV industry has remained largely unregulated - and avoiding the standards set for manufactured homes.

Please read the article and share it with friends, family, and RV forums. Be sure to add your comments at the end of the article and, please, thank ABC and reporter Susan Donaldson James for such a well-written and informative article.

Thank you,
