Is there flame retardant in this foam?

Only person that would care about this is a smoker that smokes inside, and even worse, in bed. Quit smoking. You have a 1000000% better chance of dying from an excruciatingly slow and painful death from emphysema/lung cancer, than having your head burned off because your pillow miraculously burst into flames.

Our model is from 2013. I'm not aware of any flame retardant chemicals used on the seat.

No, Naturepedic items do not contain chemical flame retardants. This item is non-toxic.

I do know that it is lead and latex free. I do not recall seeing anything on or in the packaging about flame retardants. These have worked wonderfully for us, both at home and on vacation. I know use them on a full size bunk bed and its perfect. Just a note to self....always put them under your waterproof mattress cover instead of on top.

I do not believe that it is flame retardant. It does not state it. Hope this helps.

I have this same tent in the Carolini version and contacted HABA before buying. Their tents do NOT have flame retardants in them, but are intrinsically retardant by nature of the construction of the fabric (polyester)--meaning, they do not add flame retardant chemicals like most other children's play tent companies do. (This tent had absolutely no funky odor upon opening.) Higher priced than others, but worth the extra investment in my child's health and well-being. These tents are high-quality, sturdily constructed, safe, beautiful and will last a lifetime.

According to the product description it is Flame retardant, meets CPSIA, CPAI-84, ASTM F963-11 and Canadian safety standards. Thank you, Hatch Early Learning

I did not apply any flame retardant to this. I believe it is in the material. I love this thing! It has saved our daughter from some pretty scary falls! We were considering just moving our coffee table until I found this! Hope this helps. :)

The smaller sizes are not treated w/flame retardants. Polyester is a natural flame retardant w/o using chemicals. Hope this helps.

I was wondering the same thing, and it looks like the answer is most likely yes. One reviewer mentioned that the same product is sold in ebay, and that product description states that there is an inch foam at the center and that the mattress meets California flame retardant bulletin. See http://www.ebay.com/itm/Royal-Traditional-Japanese-Thai-Floor-Rolling-Futon-Mattresses-Beds-30-W-x-80-L-/290945623787?pt=Mattresses&hash;=item43bdb5e6ebFor more info on flame retardants and safety issues, go to http://www.greensciencepolicy.org/frequently-asked-questions

There are no flame retardant chemicals. The flammability requirements are met by using natural fibers, such as cotton, instead of more flammable petroleum-based fillers, such as polyurethane foam.

They use Boric Acid as a flame retardant. It is in the product description.

Just wanted to mention: PBDE is NOT the only chemical flame retardant. The fact that the email quoted below does not state that Oeuf pads are free of TDCPP or other known carcinogens, when combined with the fact that they contain urethane foam, means they probably do contain flame retardants.

It's more firm than soft. No idea about the flame retardant but I doubt it since it is machine washable.

I am sure there are but wasn't a concern of mine since I don't allow my 3 year old to spark up a cigarette in bed. Also, it wasn't a concern of mine because I f there was a fire that close to the bed does it matter if this has a fire retardant or not? It is a soft foam and therefore made through a chemical process. If you are concerned about smell (either from the chemical application of fire retardant or the foam itself), there is a smell from this product for a couple days but dissipates quickly.

I doubt it. The fabric seat cover is easily removed and washed (about 100 times for me so far). I don't think fire retardants would stand up to that.

I don't know. I don't see that info listed on the tag. It just says "This mattress meets the requirements of 16 CFR Part 1633 (federal flammability (open flame) standard for mattress sets) when used without a foundation." I don't have the packaging anymore... not sure if that even said anything about chemicals.
