Flame Retardants

I was driving around this morning, running errands and listening to NPR. The Diane Rhem show was on.  At times, it was frustrating to listen to the show (some of the guests were impolite and the moderator had a hard time with keeping order) but it brings up a great point- mandated flame retardants in our furniture.

Im not sure if this is true, but it was posted under the comments section of the web page:
"Dr. Ross represents an organization that appears to receive chemical industry funds. If the show wanted that perspective I wish they got someone who was more upfront about their inherent conflict of interest."
