Popular EasyCare Ultra Premium Acrylic Latex Paint Becomes Certified Asthma & Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"true<\/p>\n

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) and Allergy Standards Limited (ASL) has announced that EasyCare Ultra Premium Acrylic Latex paint by True Value has earned the Asthma & Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong><\/strong> Certification Mark.<\/p>\n

The Asthma & Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong><\/strong> Certification Program, an independent program established in the United States by AAFA with their partner ASL, helps consumers identify products more suitable for people with asthma and allergies. The program performs physical and chemical testing on products to ensure they minimize irritants and pollutants in the air and reduce potential exposure to allergens.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited and honored to have our EasyCare Ultra Premium product Certified Asthma & Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong><\/strong>,\u201d said John Vanderpool, Divisional Vice President of Paint for True Value. \u201cConsumers can now focus on their color inspiration and selecting EasyCare Ultra Premium paint knowing they are getting a high performing product while minimizing irritants and pollutants in the air of their homes. This product and its performance is a big win for the consumer.\u201d
\nStrong fumes and odors from paint can irritate the eyes, skin and airways. This is largely due to potentially harmful chemicals, or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), commonly found in many paints. VOCs are chemicals released into the air as paint dries. VOCs can irritate sensitive airways, causing asthma symptoms.
\nThe Asthma & Allergy Friendly\u00ae<\/strong> Certification Mark is awarded only to products that are scientifically proven to reduce potential exposure to asthma and allergy triggers. Paint is an important product that must meet the program\u2019s strict standards to be awarded the certification.<\/p>\n
