Stop requiring flame retardants in furniture and bedding. Allow consumers to avoid exposing their families to these harmful chemicals.
Why is this important?
American consumers have no choice when it comes to exposing their kids and families to these chemicals. California mandates their use in products like furniture and bedding (per TB117), and suppliers typically market those same products in all 50 states. These chemicals have been linked to disorders ranging from diabetes to hyperthyroidism, and cancer. They have been found in human breast milk and most children's bloodstreams. Chemical company lobbyists have so far successfully opposed efforts to eradicate the requirement.
