Hello! We checked the items in our inventory and it does not specifically have a California 65 Fire Safety Tag.

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic. No, our products do not contain flame retardants or flame retardant barriers. Although we do pass (and sometimes are above and beyond) all Federal and State flammability standards. And, yes, newmom, you did see us on the Healthy Child Healthy World website. They recommend us.

it is illegal in california because it uses a pyrotechnic charge to propel the liquid. i did not know this until i had purchased it,retailers will still ship to ca. in most cases.

There is no plastic. It's 100% cotton flannel. I think it's waterproof because it's so tightly woven. It says nothing on the label about fire retardant chemicals. It is made in China, however.

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.

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.

It says on the tag: "Notice: this article meets all flammability requirements of California bureau of home furnishings technical bulletin 117. Care should be excersized near open flame or with burning cigarettes". The material consists of 76% polyurethan foam pad 16% polypropylene fiber and 8% polyester fiber. It did not have any "chemical" smell when we got it, it's a very good pad.

No chemicals or flame retardants according to the label. Just Alpaca wool. Very light weight. Possibly too large for an infant. Might get tangled up in a crib. I love mine. Just right for this prolonged cold or hot spring.

The mattress IS foam. The tag says, This mattress meets the requirements of 16 CRF Part 1633 (federal flammability (open flame) standard for mattress sets) when used WITHOUT a foundation. THIS MATTRESS IS INTENDED TO BE USED WITHOUT A FOUNDATION

The packaging I received does have a Prop 65 warning saying it contains chemicals known to the state of CA to cause cancer and/or birth defects...I'm assuming that includes lead.

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

Sorry, I am unqualified to respond to this question as it pertains to this heating pad. Nonetheless, I will comment that California has among the most strict of consumer warnings. California requires this type of disclosure on most water bottles and household plumbing (PVC) pipes. You might be inhaling more carcinogens when you fill up your gas tank than you'll encounter with the heating pad. (Gas pumps carry such disclosures too) My best guess is that petroleum products go into ALL plastics, many textiles and electrical components so the manufacturer is in compliance with all state laws by making this discolusre. Best to check with the manufacturer, Battle Creek Equipment if you still have concerns. As for me, I just wanted (and obtained) relief from pain with frequent heat applications and for me at least, it's better than taking painkillers which have all sorts of other side effects (and disclosures, too!). Thank goodness, we have choices!

Yes, all foam products are flammable. This does meet California TB-117 regulations for flammability; however, the criteria by which it passes is because of the foams density and not because of any flame retardant chemicals which is good news.

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.

I was wondering the same thing, and it looks like the answer is most likely yes. One reviewer mentioned that the same product is sold in ebay, and that product description states that there is an inch foam at the center and that the mattress meets California flame retardant bulletin. See http://www.ebay.com/itm/Royal-Traditional-Japanese-Thai-Floor-Rolling-Futon-Mattresses-Beds-30-W-x-80-L-/290945623787?pt=Mattresses&hash;=item43bdb5e6ebFor more info on flame retardants and safety issues, go to http://www.greensciencepolicy.org/frequently-asked-questions
