SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
Statement of Formaldehyde from
Building Materials
Certain building products such as
particleboard, fiberboard, and hardwood
plywood are manufactured with an adhesive
containing urea-formaldehyde. The products
emit a small quantity of formaldehyde into the
air.
Other products contain formaldehyde or urea-
formaldehyde resins such as some carpets,
draperies, upholstery, fabrics deodorizers,
cosmetics and permanent press fabrics.
Formaldehyde is also a by-product of
combustion and is produced by cigarettes and gas
appliances.
The concentration of formaldehyde in the
indoor air depends on the quantity and emission
rates of all emission rates of all emitting products
in the structure compared to the volume of indoor
air and the fresh air ventilation rate. As with other
indoor pollutants, ventilation should reduce
formaldehyde levels.
Additional Precautions
If you believe that your
Winnebago
Towables
travel trailer or fifth wheel has a
defect, which could cause a crash or could cause
injury or death, immediately inform the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) in addition to notifying
Winnebago
Towables.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may
open an investigation and, if it finds that a safety
defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order
a recall and remedy campaign. However,
NHTSA cannot become involved in individual
problems between you, your dealer, or
Winnebago Towables.
To contact NHTSA, either call the Vehicle
Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY:
1-800-424-9153); or write to: NHTSA, 1200
New Jersey Ave., Washington, D.C. 20590 or go

Information may be
obtained about motor vehicle safety from the
hotline.

Use only antifreeze made especially for
potable water systems. Automotive
antifreeze, if ingested, can cause
blindness, deafness or death.
WARNING
FORMALDEHYDE LEVELS IN THE
INDOOR AIR CAN CAUSE
TEMPORARY EYE AND
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION AND MAY
AGGRAVATE RESPIRATORY
CONDITIONS OR ALLERGIES.
