It is reported that the California Senate in the United States clearly legislated that manufacturers are not allowed to add any flame retardants when producing furniture. This regulation was opposed by the American Furniture Industry Association. However, the new standards have been implemented on January 1, 2014.
According to research, flame retardants present in some soft mattresses directly affect human fertility and cancer. In order to comply with national fire safety regulations, furniture manufacturers often add flame retardants to furniture filling materials such as sponges to achieve fire protection purposes when preparing products. Long-term exposure to mattresses containing flame retardants has a serious impact on children’s health. According to statistics, the content of flame retardants in children’s bodies is three times that of adults.
