I'd like to ask our toy and toy parts vendors to please let us know what chemicals are used to treat their balsa. I've been informed all balsa entering the US is by law required to be treated. One source I have documented proof from, and they use aluminum phosphide as a fumigant. This chemical is used to fumigate stored food grains in silos BUT it is also used to kill rodents . The latter snippet of info was not available on the internet two years ago.
Another source informed me their balsa is treated with formaldehyde.
Appreciate whatever info you can find for us
thanks.
