Lumber Liquidators Holdings Inc. was accused in a lawsuit of supplying consumers with unreliable kits to test for formaldehyde as federal authorities investigate reports the company sold flooring with high levels of the cancer-causing chemical.

The home testing kits weren’t independently evaluated and don’t use methods recommended by California air quality regulators, according to the complaint filed Tuesday in federal court in San Jose, California.
