It seems like every new product that comes out has some scary toxic chemical in it just waiting to be linked to equally scary health problems.Brominated and chlorinated flame retardants are perfect examples of toxic chemicals hiding in everyday consumer products. They are used in numerous common household and office products including upholstered furniture, electronics, insulation, wire, and cable to decrease the products’ flammability. However, recent studies have shown that toxic flame retardants may do more harm than good.Some flame retardant chemicals have been linked to “serious health problems including cancer, reduced IQ, developmental delays, obesity, and reproductive difficulties…and have been found in 97% of all Americans tested.”
(Center for Environmental Health.) Because flame retardants are not chemically bound to the materials they are incorporated in, they can easily leach out of products and be ingested or inhaled, making their way into our bodies as a result.Fortunately, there’s a solution! Here’s how you can find flame-retardant free furniture:These retailers told the Chicago Tribune they had mostly eliminated flame retardants:Securing the commitment from Ashley Furniture was a big victory for Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families’ Mind the Store Campaign, as Ashley is the largest manufacturer and retailer of furniture in the country. This served as a major step in driving the furniture sector away from these harmful chemicals, influencing other furniture retailers and competitors to follow Ashley’s lead. “If Ashley follows other companies and stops using flame retardants, the chemicals could be a thing of the past in residential furniture,” Bob Luedeka, executive director of the Polyurethane Foam Association, told the Chicago Tribune.Earlier this year, the Chicago Tribune reported these retailers told their vendors to stop adding flame retardants to their products:Others like Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, have responded to consumer queries indicating their furniture no longer contains toxic flame retardants.
Some retailers, such as Ethan Allen, have tweeted that all of their furniture was free of toxic flame retardants:@drkarenslee @SaferChemicals All Ethan Allen upholstered furniture items manufactured as of January 1, 2015 are free of flame retardants.— ETHAN ALLEN (@Ethan_Allen) January 30, 2015The furniture retail industry isn’t totally perfect yet.To date, these major furniture retailers have remained silent about whether or not they’ve taken action on toxic flame retardants in furniture, some of which did not respond to NRDC’s furniture survey last year:Berkshire Hathaway (who owns Nebraska Furniture Mart, RC Willey Home Furnishings, Star Furniture Company, and Jordan’s Furniture, Inc.)The Mind the Store campaign is calling on these major retailers to join the growing market movement away from toxic flame retardants in furniture and other products.If other big retailers like Ashley Furniture can do it, so can they! And if they have already taken action, we believe their customers have the right to know, so they can purchase safer furniture for their families.
