Obama signs landmark formaldehyde legislation!

See a link to Sierra Club's press release on Pres. Obama signing the formaldehyde legislation under Toxic Trailer News on the lower right...here is an excerpt:

"Without the action of Congress, better regulation of formaldehyde could have taken many years longer," said Becky Gillette, Formaldehyde Campaign Director for the Sierra Club. "This doesn't make up for the illnesses of tens of thousands of families housed in Katrina trailers with high formaldehyde levels. But it is encouraging to see that sometimes our government works for the people instead of for the profits of big corporations. Congress has taken a major step to protect people from unsafe levels of formaldehyde."
