Original answer to question :
"It means that it is not safe to handle or breathe and quickly get rid of the product in question and wash your hands immediately afterwards!"
The answer most people see is above and is blatantly incorrect as California has the highest standards in the country in regards to Formaldehyde emissions, see below excerpt from CARB:
What does "California 93120 Compliant for Formaldehyde" or "California Phase 2 Compliant" mean and why is this label showing up on more products?
The label seen on panels and finished goods indicates that the product meets the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) stringent emission standards for formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, including HWPW, PB, and MDF. The CWP Regulation took effect in 2009, and manufacturers and fabricators of finished goods that use any of these materials are required to use composite wood that meets the formaldehyde emission limits in the CWP Regulation. They are also required to label their products as complying, either on the products or the packaging for the finished goods. Manufacturers typically will label their products as "California 93120 Compliant for Formaldehyde" or "California Phase 2 Compliant," although other variations may also be used. California's CWP Regulation is one of the most stringent regulations in effect to limit formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products. As of today, the CWP Regulation is only being implemented in California; other states have not adopted similar regulations. However, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is developing a national regulation based on California's regulation, which is expected to be in effect nationwide by 2014.
Be thankful that California is requiring these steps as there are plenty of products manufactured that you use everyday that contain high amounts of Formaldehyde but are not disclosed. So don't throw the product away be assured that it was tested while others may not have been tested, look for the label and buy products that are tested and labeled, be an informed consumer.

What does 93120 complaint for formaldehyde mean?
I just bought a wall-mounted coat rack that says the same thing. The thing stinks, but in conducting a bunch of web searches I am starting to wonder if it was a typo - did they mean to say "California 93120 compliant for formaldehyde phase 1"? I sure hope so, but I am going to contact the company I bought it from to make sure.
What is the color of phenol formaldehyde resin after it is prepared?
Phenol Formaldehyde Resin in liquid phase appear as rides brown.
What kind of snake is black with one white stripe?
its a Black & White Desert Phase California Kingsnake
Of cephalic phase or celiac phase or plateau phase or intestinal phase or gastric phase which is not a phase of gastric regulation?
s phase
What is stationary phase and mobile phase?
mobile phase is the phase that consist of the analyte and stationary phase is the phase that is standstill
Why do you have voltage to ground but not voltage phase to phase?
There is phase to phase voltage in 3 phase system.AnswerYou don't get voltage 'phase-to-phase'; it's 'line-to-line'!
What are the three types of phase on its final phase?
single phase, double phase & three phase
What is a part of inter-phase?
g2 phase
What are the game phases in Yu-Gi-Oh?
Game phases? If you mean the phases for a turn in Yu-Gi-Oh then here they are: Draw Phase Standby Phase Main Phase 1 Battle Phase Main Phase 2 End Phase
What will happen if you use phase to phase voltage for a single phase device?
Phase to phase, two wire is classed as single phase. If the voltage from the phase to phase match the device's operating voltage, then connecting the device will allow it to operate.
What does s phase mean?
S-phase (synthesis phase) is the part of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, occurring between G1 phase and G2 phase.
When you have 56KVA available in 3 phase supply how much is your available current in 3 phase and how much in 1 phase?
In three phase: I = (three phase VA) / (sqrt(3) x (phase to phase voltage)) for single phase: I = (single phase VA) / ((phase to neutral voltage)) keep in mine three phase VA = 3 x (single phase VA), and phase to phase voltage = 1.732 x (phase to neutral voltage) Therefore the single phase and three phase currents are the same (ie, the three phase currents are the same in all three phases, or balanced). But don't get available current and available power confused (KVA is not the same as KW).
