Could your home sweet home actually be making you sick?

Concerns over a chemical found in furniture and flooring have put the public on alert over formaldehyde. Long-term exposure to the chemical has often been linked to cancer in humans.

Earlier this year, "60 Minutes" ran a special investigation on the issue and found that a significant amount of the laminate flooring produced by Lumber Liquidators may not meet health and safety standards.

Formaldehyde is a colorless chemical often found in the glue that holds a lot of composite woods together.
