[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, waiting a few months could help. California has recently been the driver of chemical flame retardant use in furniture because it has laws requiring more flame resistance than any other state. But those laws are changing during a phasing-in period in 2014, through which manufacturers will no longer be required to use the chemicals. Presumably as the rules loosen up, some companies will step up to meet consumer demand for less-treated furniture. Here's a news story on it: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-flame-retardants-california-met-20131122,0,1794887.story. If I wanted something right away I'd probably decide between accepting the risk and getting what I want, or getting a wooden chair. My family wanted a new chair for our living room and we went ahead and bought something upholstered under the current regs (still not sure if that was a good move or not).[/quote]
