Question 7

Is this flooring truly non-toxic? I will be installing it in a baby�s room and he will be crawling in it. It says there�s no ADDED lead, so does that mean there is lead in the flooring? I've also read that nano-coatings like that used in this product can abrade or otherwise leach from the surface and the particles can cause health problems. Is that a concern with this flooring? Thanks. View answer
