Hello - are your futons still sprayed with flame retardants? California has removed that requirement since the sprays have been found to be unhealthy.

I am almost positive that these are not sprayed. They never smelled like it. I would write them directly at http://www.jlifeinternational.com

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. :)

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 have flame retardant. (See the FAQ on Halo's website: http://www.halosleep.com/frequently-asked-questions/).

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.'"

I have no idea what makes it fire retardant. The mattress did not have an odor that I could make out when it arrived. I have loved the mattress so far and it has been 3 months.

I have not experienced any terrible smells from my futon. Maybe try a fabric deodorizer. Sorry I wasn't able to help.

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.

I was told by the customer service team leader it could not be shipped to my address in CA due to shipping restrictions. I'm not sure why as it contains no liquids, flammable agents, or hazmats. I see it at the pet store 5 blocks away from me for $2 more.

I just bought a golds gym trampoline from walmart and assembled it before reading the instructions and saw that scary warning label. I wish I had seen it before purchase. Why would they even use a cancer causing chemical. My kid say's it's probably only dangerous if you eat it, but what about asbestos? Ye

On the tag it states 100% polyester and that it meets the flammable requirements of California law. I'm not sure if that answers your question but that's all I could find. Try contacting the manufacturer, I've heard that their customer service is easy to deal with.

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic again. I responded to this earlier but just realized that I probably initially misunderstood your question. You said 'will this contain' not 'does this contain' so I believe you meant to ask if this product would prevent the flame retardants in a conventional mattress from off-gassing. Correct? The answer is no. To contain the off-gassing you need a complete seal - no possibility of air leaking out anywhere.

"Any item sold in the US has to meet CA requirements." That is not true. There are lots of products that are made without chemical flame retardants. In fact, CA just implemented a new law saying products do NOT have to meet the state's old flame retardant requirements because studies suggest the chemical flame retardants cause cancer. In Maine, there is a statewide ban on the chemical fire retardants that have been used to satisfy the old CA flame retardant rule (TB 117).

This is the email I received back from Bravo Sports who manufactures the trampoline "There is a different chemical in the fabric that is why there was a warning label on it. The only way the chemicals can be any harm to you is if you eat the fabric. There is no other way you or your family will be affected by the chemicals. If you have any other questions please feel free to email me back or call our toll free number at 1-800-248-5327 and speak to anyone of our available agents."

The only mention of flame retardant on the box says "Notice: this article meets the flammability requirements of California Bureau of Home Furnishings Technical Bulletin 117. Care should be exercised near open flame or with burning cigarettes."

Hello We do not add any flame-retardants to our Roma or Naturale mattresses. In the Roma, we use Rayon as a natural fire-barrier. In the Naturale, we use the wool as a natural fire-barrier. Thank you kindly, have a terrific day! SleepEZ

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."
