[quote=Anonymous]OP - Sometimes DCUM truly is as nasty as the stories about it suggest.  I have read the news stories and Berkeley studies, and understand that the wide use of banned and unsafe flame retardants in home products is a problem.   Even worse - in things like baby foam bath pads (why on earth would it need to be in a little foam frog) - or baby bath products.   I'm not sure how a fire would start in a bathtub or a wet bath pad.   But I don't have an answer for you.   I had done some searching on sofas generally - and new ones don't have the worst known flame retardants anymore based on California regulations.   I am less concerned about foam that is likely to stay covered (and that even its dust will be contained) than foam that is or may easily be uncovered.   Anyway, there are some green furniture companies, but they are very expensive.   Finally, believe it or not, IKEA seems pretty good about addressing these concerns.   Try something from them if you don't want to spend $$$$.[/quote]
