It is against the codes in many states to use formaldehyde in construction of a trailer.

They are being sold in large lots to wholesalers who are dumping them on the unsuspecting public.

If you know any one that has bought a trailer in the last month you should warn them.
I don't but can I expect you to buy commercial time on tv to warn the nation about this or is this just a little rant of yours?

If it is a used trailer take the serial number and make and go online and see what you can find

You stated they are supposed to have a warning sticker. That should be enough. Buyer beware.
I never stated anything about a warning label.

That label (organic) doesn't stand for anything ....not since the government took ownership of it and kow-towed to big business to exempt certain chemicals. Organic in the supermarket is Big Ag organic which is not what you think. That "organic" beef only had to be fed partial organic feed for 9 months prior to slaughter. Anything that was given to that cow/steer prior to the 9 months is not considered. And you call that organic ?

Can you provide proof of these claims? I believe otherwise.

I don't know if you can point it out here? http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/nop

That'll do I suppose. I don't even really know why I brought this up. Its not FEMA or the Governments fault these trailers have this chemical in it. Who built the trailers? If it was FEMA or the Government then they are to blame if not they are just selling a bad product, and the producer should be blamed not the provider.

Organic Farming | Agriculture | US EPA

I stand corrected..it's dairy not beef cattle and there is an additional 3 months of 100% percent organic. I rattled that off before without verifying:

"Producers may convert an entire, distinct dairy herd to organic production by providing 80 percent organically produced feed for 9 months, followed by 3 months of 100 percent organically produced feed. "


Were you aware that tetracycline is an allowable drug and the animal is considered Organic ?

USDA Organic "allowed" synthetic substances.
