Lumber Liquidators comes out on top in Prop 65 case

The legal powers that be looked favorably upon Lumber Liquidators, with the Court ruling in favor of the retailer in the Proposition 65 lawsuit that was filed in July 2014 in the Superior Court of the State of California.

"We are pleased that the Court has ruled in Lumber Liquidators' favor," said the retailer in a statement. "This marks an important step forward for our company as we continue to focus on driving operational performance."

"Over the past several months, we have made tremendous progress in strengthening Lumber Liquidators across every area of our organization. We have implemented significant enhancements to our sourcing and compliance practices, and we look forward to continuing to deliver products that are compliant with California's environmental standards. We are committed to operating with integrity and delivering quality products to our customers."

The retailer had previously been accused of failing to properly warn consumers about the formaldehyde levels in its laminate flooring, which poses a potential cancer risk to homeowners. California's Proposition 65 requires businesses to clearly advertise any significant chemical content in their products.

The retailer also recently settled with the California Air Resources Board for $2.5 million (in addition to an agreement to enact new procedures to ensure compliance with California laws).
