Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Tracker 9692 Residential Carpet: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Formaldehyde and VOC off-gassing, Azo dyes and heavy metals in colorants, Dust and dust mite allergens and Moth and insect infestation risk on the Axminster and not on the Masland.
• We flag Flame retardants (identity and class unknown), Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing, Formaldehyde in finish resins and Dust and particle inhalation from degrading finish on the Masland and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the Masland is Residential carpet with applied finish treatments, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Axminster is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Masland grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
