Published March 12, 2015 3:41pm ET



HARTFORD, Conn. (Legal Newsline) – Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen said Tuesday he is seeking information from a popular flooring company about the manufacture of laminate flooring that could contain high levels of formaldehyde.

Lumber Liquidators sells the Chinese-manufactured flooring online and in stores in Connecticut, and according to media reports contain a high level of the compound even though it reported being in compliance with legal standards. Jepsen asked Lumber Liquidators in a letter if the business plans to stop selling the flooring and if it will compensate customers who purchased the flooring for their homes.
