Pat Nolan on Feb 11, 2015I was on Pinterest this morning and saw a pin on pallet safety. Your pallet is from Europe and they don't used chemicals to treat their pallets marked "Epal." They use heat. Pallets from the U.S that are treated with methyl bromide are marked "MB." The pin also mentioned not to use colored pallets because they're used for chemicals. So, you're safe with THIS pallet. The info comes from Diyready.comHelpful Reply

Dee on Mar 15, 2015Also, pallets stamped HT are safe as they are heat-treated, rather than chemically treated.Helpful Reply

Pallet4.me on Oct 05, 2015I do agree with Pat Nolan on this, EPAL are for Europe pallets, and you can find a mark EUR as well. But I would not recommend to use it because those kind of pallets are often used much more than some disposable ones. EPAL are much heavier, sometimes full of moister and oil and stuff since they do travel much more from warehouse to warehouse. For some outdoor project, OK, use them but I would definitely not recommend to use them indoors.Helpful Reply

Monica Moure on Oct 13, 2015Our bed frame is made from EPAL palettes and no problem there ;) I am fro Portugal. You just need to treat the palettes properly. We sanded them and applied the correct product to isolate the wood against fungus and a colorless finshing. More than one year after still we have that beautiful wood-like smell in our room!!Helpful Reply
