The FEMA trailers are back being sold again. They are being sold at online auctions and passed to all 50 states. Even the ones that were listed as scrap because of formaldehyde are being sold out right. They are supposed to carry a warning that they are made with formaldehyde However no law requires that.

Trying to kill dumb people with formaldehyde. Wise people would research what they are purchasing before purchasing it. I suppose the government is trying to kill us also because of all those GMOs in the food that they refuse to tell us about "because they are so safe."

And how would you research this if labels aren't required ?

I wouldn't buy one of these but "trying to kill you" is a reach. It is better they try to sell them than just junk them. If you hadn't heard there is a little government debt to pay off.

You stated they are supposed to have a warning sticker. That should be enough. Buyer beware.

Watch "The future of food" and then because you will probably dismiss everything in there prove it wrong. There is a reason why there are Organic products on the shelf and Non-Organic products on the shelf. If that label (organic) didn't stand for anything, then everyone would have that label on their package.

Just add the trailers to the list of things the government allows that could affect your health.

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.

At least they won't require as much embalming.
