Having a child can cause first-time parents to re-examine many aspects of their home to ensure that it is as safe as possible. While there are several easily recognizable safety precautions, such as protecting electrical outlets or sharp corners, many homeowners may overlook the importance of choosing a safe flooring option. CBS affiliate KVAL reports that many toxic chemicals can make their way into the home through the floor.
 Vinyl products are a huge concern," expert Ivy Sager-Rosenthal told the news source. "So that would include vinyl flooring, vinyl wallpaper. Vinyl is just not a healthy choice for families."
Nonprofit group Healthy Stuff.org conducted an extensive study of more than 3,000 samples of flooring and wallpaper and found that many contained high levels of harmful metals and chemicals.

The raised bordered edge on the two steps down to the sunken living room seem dangerous. Why did they have to install them? Are there any other options?

Are you an idiot. Do you have any idea how much glue it takes to laminate wood. Not to mention the glue to hold it down and the chemicals in the stains and finishes.

I am concerned about formaldehyde levels in this floor. I believe this flooring (Millstone collection) is made in China. Does anyone know if this floor has been tested and whether it is CARB 2 compliant?
