Isn't formaldehyde used in basically every composite wood product (plywood, MDF, particleboard, etc)? Confined spaces with lots of new composite wood (see RV's, boats, trailers, temporary classrooms) always stink for quite some time until the offgassing subsides.

Yup! The phone booths don't have adequate ventilation, so fumes build up inside of them. It's very surprising that the phone booth manufacturers didn't consider this.
