This product very clearly has a warning on the back stating it must share that it contains high levels of formaldehyde (gas) per the California Proposition 65 law.
Formaldehyde (gas) is on the Proposition 65 list because it can cause cancer. Exposure to formaldehyde can cause leukemia and cancers of the nose, throat, and sinuses. Proposition 65 requires businesses to determine if they must provide a warning about exposure to listed chemicals.
I built the cabinet without realizing the risks and will now be throwing it out. It smells terrible. All I needed was something easy to solve a cluttered area and now my asthma is flaring up due to the odor. I was in a well ventilated area. Please buy with caution.
