[quote=Anonymous][quote]what?!??! blankets have flame retardants? What kind of blankets and how did you know? [/quote]

Yes, I was surprised to see that my son's Halo 100% cotton and also fleece sleeping blankets stated that they are fire retardant. He had one organic, but the tag has faded too much to say anything for sure, but it seems it's not fire retardant. I was going through his baby staff preparing for my daughter's upcoming arrival. What can I say, I wasn't thrilled about what I let my son sleep in... Now I'm shopping for organic sleeping blankets and hope those won't have fire retardants.

Again, anything that has a tag that says that the product "confirms to California flammability technical bulletin 117" is most likely been treated with fire retardants.

I went to some baby boutique today, to check tags on organic Ergo carrier (it didn't have any tag confirming with CAl law 117, so that's hopeful). A sales women, told that her friend's husband, who is a pediatrician, would not let in his house any rags or furniture with fire retardants, when they had kids 7 years ago. Already back than, this pediatrician was freaking out about what effect all these chemicals may have on his children. I wish I could convince my husband to change our old carpet on hardwood floors. Our carpet is more than 10 years old, so it mostly likely contains FRs that already has been banned. That's not a pleasant thought for me, but men can be extremely stubborn!  [/quote]
