A member asked:
Is new furniture strong smell (varnish i guess) bad for health? if so what to do about it? thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Air it out: New furniture often has residual chemical smells from the manufacturing process. While I doubt the vapors will be harmful I suggest airing out the new piece in the sun on the verandah or porch.
