# CEH reports on flame retardants in children's furniture

---

##### 20 November 2013

The Center for Environmental Health (CEH) has issued a report on harmful flame retardant chemicals in children's furniture.

The report found that chairs, couches and other kids' furniture, purchased from Walmart, Target, Kmart, Toys R Us/Babies R Us and other major retailers throughout the United States (US) and Canada, contained flame retardants such as TCPP, TDCPP, Firemaster 550 and Butylated Triphenyl Phosphate.

Many of the items were designed with colorful children's characters including Disney Princesses, Nickelodeon’s Dora the Explorer, Marvel Comics Spiderman and others.

In addition to CEH (California and New York), organizations participating in the purchasing and testing include Alaska Community Action on Toxics, Canadian Environmental Law Association, Ecojustice, New Brunswick Environmental Network, Clean Water Action-Connecticut, Kentucky Environmental Foundation, Environmental Health Strategy Center (Maine), Clean Water Action-Massachusetts, Ecology Center (Michigan), Healthy Legacy (Minnesota), Women’s Voices for the Earth (Montana), Clean and Healthy New York, Oregon Environmental Council, Vermont Public Interest Research Group, Washington Toxics Coalition.
