The Home Furnishings Alliance and the North American Furniture Association joined the Polyurethane Foam Assn (PFA) to resist the implementation of the California Flame Retardant Act. The organization declared that the Flame Retardant Act was not feasible, which increased retailers The burden on them is unfair to them. "Although we support legislative purposes, the new bill requires that upholstered furniture not add any chemical flame retardants at all, which goes far beyond this intention. The new flame retardant bill will not work," the association said in a joint statement. The group claimed that the Flame Retardant Act was proposed by State Senator Mark Leno, and that the current legal requirements for the sale of furniture in California require a "long supplement." In addition to listing whether the furniture contains FR chemical flame retardant ingredients, the new legal target must include a written statement about the danger of exposure to this chemical and the lack of fire safety benefits. (Note: The legal target is the requirements for the health and fire safety technology of cushions. It is the 15 states of the United States that must register mattresses, furniture, bedding products and even toy products containing cushioning materials with the consumer protection department of the state government. Product label.) In addition, the organization pointed out that the new bill also requires retailers to provide the same declared label to each point of sale. Retailers "difficult to control the additives in a single product" will be punished unfairly if they are a little careless. In November 2013, the California parliament passed the bill with high votes and plans to officially implement it on January 1, 2015. The new regulations require that upholstered furniture only need to pass a so-called "smolder test" to replace the "open flame test" that has been implemented for the past 35 years. The new standard does not prohibit the use of FR chemicals, but it can pass the smoldering test without adding FR.
