Toxic flame-retardant chemicals — added to many products, including furniture, mattresses, and children’s products — are linked to cancer, learning disabilities, reproductive harm, and interference with the normal operation of hormones.
In fact, the toxic byproducts produced when these chemicals burn can even result in higher cancer rates for firefighters. And the kicker is that flame retardants in these products are not needed for fire safety.
Right now, the California state legislature is considering a bill that would phase out toxic flame-retardant chemicals in upholstered furniture, many children’s products, and mattresses.
But we need your voice to ensure that the legislature passes this critical bill.
