WASHINGTON (AP) — The government is selling travel trailers to the public that were banned from use as emergency housing in disasters because many had toxic levels of formaldehyde. These units are being sold through the General Services Administration as “scrap.” The Federal Emergency Management Agency purchased the trailers during the 2005 hurricane season. As of Oct. 27, FEMA identified 10,000 units that could be designated as scrap and sold under federal law.—-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
