I don't think Retayne is an unsafe product to use. Yes it has formaldehyde in it, so does everything piece of clothing you buy or fabric you buy. Formaldehyde is one of the most commonly used chemicals and we are all exposed to it daily in small amounts. It can cause problems, including cancer, but the exposure from Retayne is minuscule compared to when you get every time you sit in your car, ride in an elevator, walk on carpeted floors or enter a store full of brand new, unwashed clothing. If you breathe outside in any city, you are breathing formaldehyde because it's present in auto exhaust. If you ever use a wood burning fireplace you've probably been exposed to pretty high levels. There are many more things that can cause cancer in our everyday lives. Just because it can cause cancer doesn't mean you will get cancer.
