Industry officials recommend these steps to reduce exposure to chemicals in some new carpets:

– Ask the dealer to make sure the carpet is aired out.

– If possible, allow the carpet to rest for a day in the home before installation.

– During installation, open windows and doors. Keep ventilation systems such as air-conditioning turned on for at least 48 hours.

Consumers with complaints can call the Consumer Product Safety Commission at 800-638-2772.
