Is this treated with flame retardant chemicals?

It appears that they are not. Here is a link to a blog where someone wrote and asked them: ladyplusbaby.com/?tag=halo-response-about-fire-retardant ...it's on the ladyplusbaby website and is a post tagged "halo-response-about-fire-retardant"...in case the weblink is blocked. On that page is posted these emails from Halo: Randall, Polyester is a natural flame retardant fabric; therefore all our fleece and comfort mesh items pass the standards with out flame retardant chemicals. Our cotton sleepsacks are made without the chemicals but can only pass the standards in the smaller sizes. This is the reason they are only made in these sizes. The flame resistance standards for children's sleepwear gets stricter as the sizes get larger. This is due to the mobility of the child increasing with size. If you have any other questions, please let us know. Christy Halo Innovations Customer Service ---------------------------------------------- Hello Randall, We do not use any flame resistance chemicals on any of our items. They pass the minimum standards for flame resistance without the use of chemicals. The standards are different based upon the size and mobility of the child therefore, the standards for larger or older children are more strict than for infants. This is why some of our products are only available in certain sizes. There are different CPSC levels of FR standards. The SleepSack wearable blanket falls into category 1610 which is for bedding categories. IF we were in a pajama category which is 1615 then the cotton SleepSacks would not pass without treatment. If you would like to learn more about this please visit the CPSC web site. http://www.cpsc.gov/ Regards, Karen Customer Service Halo Innovations Also on the Halosleep FAQ page, they say they are not chemically treated also. Hope that helps.

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

The smaller sizes are not treated w/flame retardants. Polyester is a natural flame retardant w/o using chemicals. Hope this helps.

There are no flame retardant chemicals. The flammability requirements are met by using natural fibers, such as cotton, instead of more flammable petroleum-based fillers, such as polyurethane foam.

Hi Tina I apologize for the delay below is your answer: We use a premium fabric made with fire retardant inherent fibers. The fabric is woven with fiber glass fibers that are inherently fire resistant. No chemical is used to process the fabric. Please advise with any other questions or concerns.

Yes But it is not fire retardant. Some fairs require that it be fire retardant. Very durable and cleans up well.

It does not indicate if the product is flame retardant, however, I feel confident that this could burn into flames. It is a well crafted item and it has good weight to it. Fairly easy to use with some assistance.

I would say no. There is no recycle symbol on the label and the residue of the contents which are flammable would have to be washed out. There is also a caution about not comming in contact with the skin. My skin is sensative, but I have never had an issue with it.

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'm not 100% sure but I think they have been treated with a flame retardant in order to meet California specs for safety.

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.

No! I don't believe so... From what I have read the company uses permanently bonded silica (think sand or glass) instead of conventional chemicals. The information used to be on their website, might still be.

Ours did Not have a chemical, smelled a little like plastic it was wrapped in, but that soon (1-2hr) faded away. Warning though, its no 3 inches, we let is relax for 4 hr and never ever got near 3 inch in depth, very disappointing

I have this same tent in the Carolini version and contacted HABA before buying. Their tents do NOT have flame retardants in them, but are intrinsically retardant by nature of the construction of the fabric (polyester)--meaning, they do not add flame retardant chemicals like most other children's play tent companies do. (This tent had absolutely no funky odor upon opening.) Higher priced than others, but worth the extra investment in my child's health and well-being. These tents are high-quality, sturdily constructed, safe, beautiful and will last a lifetime.

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.

Our model is from 2013. I'm not aware of any flame retardant chemicals used on the seat.

No, it does not contain a flame retardant. A mattress company that uses talalay latex does not recommend using a natural foam mattress topper because it's so flammable: "...you might as well put gasoline on the top of your mattress..." (My research shows that P. Thornton is correct in saying that polyurethane is extremely flammable, as is memory foam, but I believe the statement that natural Latex is not flammable is incorrect.) When used in the interior of a mattress and surrounded by wool or natural cotton, natural latex is much less likely to burn. However, if you smoke in bed or have lit candles on the nightstand, it would NOT be a good idea to use a talalay topper. On the other hand, if you don't smoke in bed and keep lit candles a safe distance from the bed, by all means use natural latex as a topper.

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.

Great question. These tents are made with nylon and polyester, no pvc plastic. They do not have any added chemicals used in retardants. They are flame resistant.
