EAU CLAIRE. Wis. – The 350-store Menards big-box home-improvement chain has been ordered to stop selling air filterrs that are banned by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. At issue are these products manufactured by Excell Air of Ashland, Ohio:
> Excell Antimicrobial Filter.
> Excell Allergen Filter.
The Fitters have been \withdrawn by Excell under federal pressure, but the government says they continue to be available online from Eau Claire-based Menards. The agency said unreasonable risk to human health or the environment are possible even when the products are used according to the label directions.
Banned product. Feds say somebody at Menards didn’t read the memo.
