The product, in the report: Laminate wood floors
We purchased laminate wood flooring about 4-5 years ago from Empire Today. After many test by 3 vets, the ending diagnosis was my dog was having a severe allergic reaction to the materials that flooring contains. I would like to find out where they purchase their flooring. I also have concerns for my husband who has been also having feet problems as well. I just want to rule out China and also Lumber Liquidators as the source for their materials.
