If you’re not too sure about what to get, here are a few space savers that make sense: Bed risers, Accent Tables, Storage Ottomans, seating options and futons.NEWSLETTERS Receive the latest investigations updates in your inboxIt’s a chemical that was banned from children’s pajamas because of a link to cancer and developmental delays, but now that same chemical is turning up in popular baby and children’s items.The Center for Environmental Health in Oakland tested crib mattresses, changing pads, nap mats, and other foam filled products.They say they found significant levels of chlorinated Tris. California law requires stores and makers to clearly post warnings on or near products containing this chemical, which is commonly used as a flame retardant.CEH announced today it is taking legal action against Walmart, Target, Babies R Us., Kmart, Bed Bath and Beyond, and other stores that are not complying with the law.
Following questions from the Investigative Unit, Walmart told NBC Bay Area it will remove the items in question from its sales floor. They also said they would work to restrict online sales. "As we can look into the facts around this and confirm compliance with Prop 65 labeling requirements, we are notifying our stores in California to remove the items from our sales floor, and we are working to restrict online sales of these products in California," Walmart's Dianna Gee said in a written statement.CEH cheered the decision, but clearly wanted more. "We welcome Walmart's decision to protect California children, but parents nationwide have a right to know when baby products at Walmart contain a cancer-causing chemical," said Michael Green, Executive Director of CEH. "Parents deserve better from Walmart.."CEH said stores have had a year to post warning labels to tell consumers about products that contain chlorinated tris.“The warning needs to be really specific and indicate which product and which chemicals are a problem,” Caroline Cox with the Center for Environmental Health said.
When the Investigative Unit shopped the stores in question, we didn’t see any signs- not on the products or the shelves. We shopped Walmart, Target, and Babies R Us stores in the Bay Area. We found diaper changing pads, infant sleepers and nursery furniture on the CEH list of products containing significant amounts chlorinated tris. CEH says nap mats used by preschools and childcare centers also contain the chemical.They say children are exposed by inhaling dust as the foam breaks down and ingesting particles that may rub off of the foam.“Vaccuming often and washing your child’s hands will reduce exposure. Replace these kinds of products that have foam cushioning with products that use polyester fiber fill or cotton or wool as cushioning rather than the foam,” Cox said.We reached out to all the other stores in question to find out if they have plans to remove the products or post warnings. As we said above, Walmart said it will now remove the products.Babies R Us responded saying: "The safety of our customers, is, and always has been, our highest priority, and we require that the products sold in our stores meet or exceed federal and state requirements.
We have received a Prop 65 Notice regarding the items you mention below, and have contacted the manufacturers to learn more about the specific claims made by CEH."Target responded saying: "Target is committed to abiding by state and federal laws and regulations, and we expect our vendors to do the same.

Waterproof Posture Support V-Pillow Protector Quinn Comforter Quilt Cover Set - Pink Page 1 of 6Is there a store in Aruba where I can purchase inexpensive memory foam bed topper or even regular foam ? I have some health issues requiring this in order to be comfortable traveling. Probably going to Tropicana but if cant get things I need to be comfortable may not be able to go. If there is ever a Walmart or Target store in Aruba I am going to stop going. LOL -Where would they put it - they are generally longer than a football field. There isn't specifically either a Target or Walmart. There is Pricemart which is a small version of Costco. You have to have a membership to shop there. I think you may be able to buy a one time pass or something I don't know. There are several local furniture/home outfitters that may have what you need. There is a rather large home store right across from Pricemart (close to the airport) that I have purchased some home furnishings from.
Id bring one from home before not going, regarless of cost, lol. If you can get it in a suitcase, I would bring it from home. Aruba might have it but you would spend a lot of time finding it and the quality might be inferior to what you are used to at home. Many items in Aruba come from Holland. Having been in and out of most of the stores on the Island I cannot recall one that sells foam mattress covers. I also do not recall any hardware stores that sell foam that could be adapted to the purpose. I would also suggest that you bring your own with you as the cost here may exceed the $50 or so for the additional bag depending on which carrier you travel. There is one store that does come to mind called Dura in the Palm Beach area that might sell them. I will pass by and see what they may have. -:- Message from TripAdvisor staff -:-This post has been removed at the author's request.

I removed my first reaction, for this is such a nice and wonderful forum with friendly people and I don't want to start an off topic discussion. But I feel I am a little bit offended and flabbergasted by this statement. To prevent any misconceptions, I like to inform you that products from the Netherlands are the best in the world. As a matter of fact, the Netherlands is an export-country pur sang. Although we are a small country (only 16 million inhabitants) we are the 3rd biggest investor in the USA and are in the top 5 of the export-partners to the USA. You probably only know tulips, stroopwafels, Gouda cheese or Heineken and Amstel, but there is a lot more to that. One destination mentioned in this post I can't imagine bringing a mattress topper or foam from home. The one I purchased for my son's mattress in his dorm at college is heavy, and it's only a twin - there is no way I could pack it and bring it along on a trip.
