GAPING HEALTH RISK: Cheap chinese MDF triggers formaldehyde scare

摘要

Following reports from the local industry concerned about sickness among people working with so-called "shonky" imports, and as a result of this Inwood investigation, government agencies are sufficiently worried to be encouraging formal complaints and independent product analysis.
