Mattresses

Mattresses can contain and release chemicals of high concern, such as PBDEs—a brominated flame retardant. PBDEs build up in breast milk and can increase the risk of neurological problems in children. American women have the highest global levels of PBDEs in their breast milk.

Coming Soon: Clean Production Action is researching which major mattress manufacturers are providing consumers with PBDE free mattresses.
