Formaldehyde Furniture

I received this email recently:

Hello,

You are receiving this mail because you are or recently were a resident in
a new apartment unit of Oakwood (No. 55 Northeast 3rd Ring Road – Chaoyang
District – Beijing) .

It was brought to our attention recently that there was an unusual odor
emanating from a piece of furniture in one of the apartments. An
independent environmental test concluded the piece of furniture had a slightly
higher-than-acceptable level of Formaldehyde. This chemical may cause
health problems for some people so Oakwood immediately removed the piece of
furniture. You may wish to speak with your healthcare provider if you have
specific questions or need further information regarding healthcare.

Based on the information above, Microsoft Relocation wanted to make
available some options for your personal consideration.

  1. Have the piece of furniture removed from your apartment
  2. Move to another apartment in the same complex that does not have this same
    type of furniture
  3. Have your current apartment tested
Please contact me or XXXX if you have any questions or would like to
pursue one of the options in the above mentioned list.

Regards,

XXXX
Director, Microsoft Global Relocation
