Disregarding the buzzword "hypoallergenic", is this topper treated with any fire retardant chemicals?

Fire retardants are so commonly used in furnishings that I'd suggest asking the manufacturer to be sure. If chemicals are present, with more and more people concerned about chemical exposure, they may not note it on the packaging lest it reduce sales.I subsequently found this answer in this thread: "I emailed Luna, who responded with this quote 'Our protectors are not treated with anything at all.'"

They use Boric Acid as a flame retardant. It is in the product description.

I am not sure if there is a fire retardant or not, but if you call the company, they will answer any questions you may have. I called them many times before I bought my mattress. I have had it over a year now and I am very happy with it. http://www.lucidmattress.com

I'm thinking it's the law. Anything that is intended for children to sleep in has to have fire retardants....From the tag: "This article meets all flammability requirements of the California Bureau of Home Furnishing bulletin 116 and 117." An additional tag says, "Only the resilient filling material meets (these requirements)" and both caution against using near fires and cigarettes.

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 am not aware of any 'civilian' type sleeping bags being flame retardant. My wife & I quit smoking many years ago.

I don't think so. The tag just says it's all new material, surface washable, made of polyester fibers and plastic pellets and it's made in Indonesia. I would think it has NOT been treated with fire retardant. Just guessing though.

It does not have flame retardant. (See the FAQ on Halo's website: http://www.halosleep.com/frequently-asked-questions/).

I was wondering the same thing. I purchased one over a year ago and just recently learned about all the fire retardants in infant clothing and bedding. I contacted Serta and here was their response: Thank you for contacting Serta. We are glad that you took the time to email us and appreciate the opportunity to respond. Serta manufactures mattresses and foundations. We license independently owned companies to make many types of furniture and bedding accessories using the Serta brand name. For assistance with this matter, please check the manufacturing law tag that is attached to your product and contact the manufacturer directly. The manufacturer contact information is listed below: La Jobi Industries - (888) 266-2848, (609) 409-2495, www.lajobi.com, or email: bcurran@lajobi.com I am disappointed that they don't have more information--or that they are choosing to withhold the information--about a product sold under their name. I'll email the company mentioned and post what I find out.

I honestly don't know if it's fire retardant or not. I would suggest you try to find a corporate number for Dr. brown's and try to call the company directly. I loved my Gia pillows when I was nursing, but fire retardant was something that never occurred to me in all honesty. Sorry I can't be more helpful but I really just don't know the answer to your question.

This is made of all natural latex. There are no synthetics in it. It does not have any toxic fire retardants.

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.

This is a foam product and does not contain any type of plastic or flame retardants chemicals.

I am sure there are but wasn't a concern of mine since I don't allow my 3 year old to spark up a cigarette in bed. Also, it wasn't a concern of mine because I f there was a fire that close to the bed does it matter if this has a fire retardant or not? It is a soft foam and therefore made through a chemical process. If you are concerned about smell (either from the chemical application of fire retardant or the foam itself), there is a smell from this product for a couple days but dissipates quickly.

I'm pretty sure it is flame retardant since it is sleepwear. I think it has to state if it is not flame retardant, such as sleepwear that is meant to fit snug on the body. I wish you could make that choice as a parent whether you wanted to have your child wearing clothing with chemicals, but I'm pretty sure the manufacturers aren't allowed to sell loose sleepwear without the flame retardant chemicals on it.

Check out http://www.davincibaby.com/willow-natural-coconut-palm-crib-mattress and hover your mouse over the 'Meets Federal Flammability Standard CFR-1633'. They explain that the mattress does not contain any flame retardant materials, but use a thin layer of cotton-like material (possibly with Dupont chemicals) that do not contact the user and they use Kevlar thread to make the mattress, which is flame resistant. I did notice a slight odor when I removed it from the plastic wrapper, but aired it for several months before baby arrived and the slight smell was long gone. Good luck with your purchase- we have just flipped this one to the toddler side and I am still very happy with the purchase.
