Coalition: some FR chemicals may fade

Article Abstract:

According to the Children's Coalition for Fire Safe Mattresses, some mattresses that meet California's strict new fire-resistance regulations could have their FR protection break down over time and become dangerous. The coalition plans to contact companies that were making mattresses that are unsafe and ask them to bring about the required changes.
