Has it been treated with flame retardant?

I don't know but I remember buying this brand because it was the most non-toxic I could find. I don't think they smelled at all when I got them. I love them. Good luck!

Yes. This futon uses the natural chemical boric acid as a flame retardant. As chemicals go, it's pretty benign, certainly much better than the PBDEs found in many mattresses and sofas, but is still a chemical and thus considered less "clean" than the use of silica or wool that you will find in organic mattresses.

I did not apply any flame retardant to this. I believe it is in the material. I love this thing! It has saved our daughter from some pretty scary falls! We were considering just moving our coffee table until I found this! Hope this helps. :)

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic. Absolutely not. We don't use those flame retardants in any of our products.

According to the label, it's filled with 100% Urethane foam. The label doesn't say what standards it adheres to, but there is a flammability statement, so that probably means no flame retardants. The cover is 100% cotton, again, no idea if it's treated cotton or not, but the instructions suggest putting the entire wedge under a sheet. I found that difficult to do personally, as it kept on coming uncovered. I don't have a pillowcase that's big enough for the wedge, but if I was still using it regularly I would probably make one.

It does not appear to have been treated, but I'm pretty sure those chemicals would be harmful to the birds. I bought this feeder to replace one that I'd had hanging up since 1991, so they hold up pretty well.

No it is not treated with any chemicals, I called their customer service line to verify.

This product is not flame retardant (also apparent by the product tags). This is one of the prime reasons i purchased this product: I did not want to expose my child to flame retardant chemicals. I hope this helps. -TJ

It does not state that it is fire retardant. In my experience it would state that if it was and would far more costly.

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 have found that memory foam does have a smell at first but goes away fairly quickly if you air it out for a while. I don't know anything about fire retardant.

I'm not sure if it's sprayed with fire retardant. Some reviewers complained about the minty smell stating it was too strong, but neither my wife nor I felt the smell was too strong, and the minty smell was gone in a few days. In fact I wish it would have lasted longer. We've almost had this mattress topper for 11 months now and we still love it and it's still very comfortable.

Hi Janice- they changed the law so that flame retardants are no longer required to be added to changing pads. The outer cover does retard burning, and the inner cushion remains flame retardant free.

As far as I know. Yes. Mine is fire retardant and the description on this product says it is fire retardant. I love the product. I use it for my little dog to keep her from falling out of bed.

No. This tent does not have flame retardants. I think it's one of the only ones I've seen that does not. My son has this and it's great.

I have without thinking about it and haven't noticed any damage. I would suggest that a hot pad is used to protect it.
