Sorry Lee, but I don't know the answer. I received the foam roller with very little packaging and no inserts. The size was printed on a sticker label and that's about it.

There is nothing on the tags to indicate that it is flame or fire retardant. It did however state that it met all of the laws regarding the product. This makes me think that perhaps it is.

I don't recall seeing any mention of flame retardants being applied to the foam.

"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).

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 be highly surprised and disappointed if it was treated, as I purchased the topper under the impression that it wasn't. Also, the tag doesn't specify that it is flame-retardant or compliant with the law in that regard, and in fact advises against dry cleaning, and I directly quote, "because of the harsh and toxic chemicals used during the process". That said, I LOVE this topper. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's construction and quality is superb, and has made all the difference in the world comfort- and temperature-wise on our mattress. Before purchasing this topper, my fianc and I were overheating and miserable on our supposedly nontoxic foam mattress. I got the topper to hold us over until we can afford a latex mattress instead, but will definitely continue to use this organic topper even when we do. Hope this helps!

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

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.

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.

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.

No, this tent does not have any added chemicals used in retardants. It is flame resistant.

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

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.

I was just looking up this information on their website as I was considering purchasing this and they indicate that they do not use any PBDE flame retardants

It does not say flammable anywhere on the product. But, I googled all the ingredients anyway just to make sure and none of them were listed as flammable. It's mostly water with conditioners and scents.

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.

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.
