Flame Retardant-Free Furniture? These Companies Are Moving Toward Safer Products
In January, we shared the news about the Center for Environmental Health’s landmark legal agreements that aim to end the use of harmful flame retardant chemicals in foam furniture and children’s products from Playtex, West Elm, and other leading companies.
Today, we’re giving you the information you need to protect your family and shop smarter:
- Flip through our slideshow of photos of the products from companies that have reached legal agreements with CEH.
- Check out our chart (below) of all the products and brands that have agreed to remove flame retardants from their products, and the ones that have not. Stay tuned to see progress reports for how each company is doing on eliminating these chemicals from their products.
