Is this product sprayed with a chemical flame retardant?

I don't think so. I have had one for almost a year and it doesn't smell like any chemicals.

This product is made by Colgate and this was the answer they gave me when I asked if they used ANY flame retardants on the foam, "First of all thank you for considering a Colgate mattress. There are two ways to meet the flammability standard. The first is to treat the mattress cover with chemicals. The second is to use a barrier fabric, which is what we choose to do. A great source of information as to what we use can be found here:http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CelluloseWe use a barrier fabric in all of our mattresses, traditional and Eco. My own kids slept on these mattresses do I really wouldn't want them on a chemical fire barrier."

Just wanted to mention: PBDE is NOT the only chemical flame retardant. The fact that the email quoted below does not state that Oeuf pads are free of TDCPP or other known carcinogens, when combined with the fact that they contain urethane foam, means they probably do contain flame retardants.

It does not smell like chemicals unlike the Summer one I ordered and returned. It does, however, say it is made with 31% urethane.

No, this product does not contain any PBDE(flame retardants). Excerpt from an email directly from the company. "The foam used in our changing pad is plant based and the actual plant used to make it comes from the magnolia family. The cover is made with damask and the wetproof backing is made with food grade poly-urethane, which passes Greenguard. It also is important to know that our pad and mattresses are all Greenguard certified for children and schools and are free of: lead, PVC, phthalates, BPA, formaldehyde, PBDE, phosphorus and arsenic."

Hello, Our mattress toppers are not treated with any flame retardant chemicals. Thanks for inquiring about our products! John eLuxurySupply Customer Service

I don't know and product details don't mention anything about being flame retardant. I would assume most furniture and accessories in a nursery are not flame retardant, only their pajamas. I bought this because it fits the IKEA changing table. Summer Infant ones mention being chemically free, but not sure if that is related to flame retardants.

I would be highly surprised and disappointed if it was treated, as I purchased the topper under the impression that it wasn't. Also, the tag doesn't specify that it is flame-retardant or compliant with the law in that regard, and in fact advises against dry cleaning, and I directly quote, "because of the harsh and toxic chemicals used during the process". That said, I LOVE this topper. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's construction and quality is superb, and has made all the difference in the world comfort- and temperature-wise on our mattress. Before purchasing this topper, my fianc and I were overheating and miserable on our supposedly nontoxic foam mattress. I got the topper to hold us over until we can afford a latex mattress instead, but will definitely continue to use this organic topper even when we do. Hope this helps!

Good question. I don't know. It is made of heavy material, so I would think that it would be at least fire retardant.

Are you worried about setting your toilet on fire? LOL. It is not aerosol, but it is oil based. I do not know if it is flammable. Sorry I couldn't help more. There were no warnings on the label.

Not really, but the coating will discolor and melt off. I would advise against using this on something exposed to flame. At the least it would be a waste of effort putting the coat on.

My guess is no. I'm pretty sure that the main ingredient is flammable and the bottle is bigger than 3.4 oz.

package says it is naturally inflammable. So, no they don't add retardants.

I think the product description says that it is fire retardant. I have dropped a couple of hot coal on it and the mat did not burn. I bought the product to protect my deck and so far it has worked perfectly.

I'm not sure if it's flammable, but I checked the bottle and there is no warning signs. I love this product and even with my sensitive skin, I have never felt any irritation.

The material is comprised of vinyl and plastic components, thus I don't believe it could be fire retardant, but I suggest you to go through a further research to confirm it.

I've sprayed it on my seat by accident and didn't burn my bum. However, it's a chemical and any chemically based product will list emergency numbers. This isn't unusual.

I haven't seen this issue raised, but being all natural latex, I don't think it would contain flame retardants. Latex is not flammable like polyurethane.

I don't know. I don't see that info listed on the tag. It just says "This mattress meets the requirements of 16 CFR Part 1633 (federal flammability (open flame) standard for mattress sets) when used without a foundation." I don't have the packaging anymore... not sure if that even said anything about chemicals.

I had that same issue. I have to buy a spray to make it fire retardant. They sell it at Home Depot.

According to the product description it is Flame retardant, meets CPSIA, CPAI-84, ASTM F963-11 and Canadian safety standards. Thank you, Hatch Early Learning
