Had a neighbor tell me that there were lawsuits but have never seen any of them online (they can't hide that stuff).  Prior to the EPA getting involved about 10-12 years ago the preservatives they were all using had higher concentrations of Arsenic, Chromate and other chemicals.  Some kids were getting sick from playgrounds that used PT lumber and when used on piers and docks they were concerned about leaching into the water.  I still have some OLD pieces of decking that will probably be around when I die.

Anyways, the PT lumber people want to do what is right and stand behind their products.  I'm sure they are concerned about lawsuits but if I know I have rotted lumber and let someone on my deck, then I'm the one who should be sued.
