Subsequently, Mr. Li sent the purchased TV cabinet door to the National Furniture and Indoor Environmental Quality Supervision and Inspection Center for inspection. The test results showed that the samples were unqualified and the formaldehyde exceeded the standard. With several test results, Mr. Li and his family found the building materials market and asked the other party to explain and compensate. However, the building materials market only agrees to return, and does not agree to any compensation. Many times the negotiations failed, Mr. Li appealed the building materials market to the Shijingshan court.
