Looking at bamboo from HD. Questions about quality/formaldehyde

Posted by taeel (My Page) on

I'm under some time pressure to decide what to do with a new floor - some complexities in the building which limit me to a certain thickness and the need to complement an existing color (kitchen tile and drop down to living room).

Have looked at Home Depot, Lowes and Lumber Liquidators, but was just scared away from the 3rd by reviews here. I'm kind of liking the Home Legend Bamboo Sapelli from Home Depot, but was afraid after reading about formaldehyde.

This is the info on their site, in addition to a statement about how their products will not pollute the air, I found this info:

Composition: Bamboo
Ingredient Name: Formaldehyde
CAS-nr.: 50-00-0
Free Emission: <0.05ppm
Health: -
Risk: -

I have no idea what this means beyond that there is some formaledhyde in there.

Can someone help me interpret? Anyone have this product?
