Yeah I've read that, but also read the actual vinyl has it in the backing as well. I'm unsure if I should have it tested after I've ripped it out. It's probably something that's gonna drive me insane not knowing, yet drive me insane if I find out it is! lol

Fwiw, the adhesive on this stuff looks to be a grayish white.
