Governor Brown: No more toxic flame retardants in my furniture and body
By Alliance for Toxic Free Fire Safety (Contact)
To be delivered to: Governor Jerry Brown
Petition Statement
Get the toxic flame retardant chemicals out of my couch, baby products and body! Adopt a standard modeled on the Consumer Product Safety Commission smolder standard for fabric-- greater fire safety benefit without the use of toxic and/or untested chemicals.
Petition Background
For decades, flame retardants chemicals have been added to furniture and baby products across North America because of an obscure 1970s California regulation. The regulation not only has been ineffective at stopping fires, but it also has led to the use of toxic and untested chemicals linked to lower IQ, cancer, infertility, and many other health problems. A recent Chicago Tribune investigation exposed how the chemical industry uses deceptive tactics and misrepresents science just to keep selling us their toxic products.
Tell California Governor Jerry Brown to get toxic chemicals out of our furniture, homes, bodies and environment.
