Here is what expert agencies say about cancer-causing potential of
formaldehyde:

a carcinogen
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) The
IARC concludes that formaldehyde is "Carcinogenic to Humans" based
on higher risks of nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemia
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified
formaldehyde as a "Probable Human Carcinogen"

exposure to formaldehyde may cause leukemia, particularly myeloid
