Fire retardants are everywhere! Car seats, even children pijamas. Not sure why people thought it was a good idea to put chemicals on children

- toast0 6y agoI mean --- if you thought it was safe, wouldn't you prefer children's clothing to be less flamible? Children can be very heavy sleepers and not hear smoke alarms, and even if they do wake up, they might have a harder time getting out of a burning building than adults, so having a bit extra time because their clothes didn't catch fire would be helpful. Seems like a good idea, until you consider the negatives of the fire retardants, and then you have a complex decision to make.
- basicplus2 6y agothe answer is safer materials like wool
- ab 6y ago> if you thought it was safe The problem is that companies introducing chemicals into a clothing product aren't required to show that they're safe, at least in the US. So considering the negatives only happens much later, if at all.
