Also it impregnates the fibres so just washing the fabric will not remove it in most cases.

basically you can not buy any single thing that is sold in california because they have to put that cancer warning on everything, i almost bet on it it be on pasta and all food items also.
What is in them seat cover will be formaldehyde as if you dont have that you have a floppy rag in fabrics without formaldehyde, its why they say wash before use anywhere else to flush the surface formaldehyde off.
I react with respiratory symptoms to formaldehyde so its presence is obvious to me. This and skin reactions (i.e. eczema) are common symptoms for many people and we have a lot of customers for our fabrics and clothing due to their being certified free of contaminants including formaldehyde.
