Besides, even if you got rid of the melamine racks you have plenty of other things in your home that use formaldehyde in their manufacture. Most of your cabinets, a lot of your carpeting. Even the underlayment on your floors is made of particle board which is the same thing as melamine without the plastic coating.
hearing this does make the deadly melamine rumor to be untrue and a load of crap. This is great news
