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.
