It this item sprayed with any sort of chemical fire retardant? I am looking for topper without any smell

I'm not sure if it's sprayed with fire retardant. Some reviewers complained about the minty smell stating it was too strong, but neither my wife nor I felt the smell was too strong, and the minty smell was gone in a few days. In fact I wish it would have lasted longer. We've almost had this mattress topper for 11 months now and we still love it and it's still very comfortable.

Not Sure about the fire retardant as well, and the topper did have a pleasant minty smell. So if your looking for one with no smell, this isn't the one for you. Also the minty smell didn't last long and we still the the comfort it added to our select aire. We would purchase again!

I'm sorry. Mine did not come with a smell. :( Maybe ask them to replace it.

I purchased mine less than a year ago, I purchased with the ad/idea it is 'chemical/toxin' free. the filling is pure 100% kapok fibers. Also, I believe 'flame retardants' are or are in the process of being banned. Here is the co. online that filled my order from the pillow product tag, Bean Product co. BTW, great pillow well worth it the best I've used to date, better than poly fill. http://www.beanproducts.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=001&Product_Code=7ZFKAPOK&Category_Code=Products_All

I have found that memory foam does have a smell at first but goes away fairly quickly if you air it out for a while. I don't know anything about fire retardant.

We didn't notice any odor, but we did let it air out for 2 days before we put it on the bed. It is the BEST mattress topper we've ever had!

Check out http://www.davincibaby.com/willow-natural-coconut-palm-crib-mattress and hover your mouse over the 'Meets Federal Flammability Standard CFR-1633'. They explain that the mattress does not contain any flame retardant materials, but use a thin layer of cotton-like material (possibly with Dupont chemicals) that do not contact the user and they use Kevlar thread to make the mattress, which is flame resistant. I did notice a slight odor when I removed it from the plastic wrapper, but aired it for several months before baby arrived and the slight smell was long gone. Good luck with your purchase- we have just flipped this one to the toddler side and I am still very happy with the purchase.

Wrote the manufacturer, who was very responsive, and they said NO, it does not contain flame retardants. They also stated "MedSlant is made out of 95% hypo-allergenic polyurethane foam and 5% soy. The soy does not impact the foam - it just makes it more eco-friendly. MedSlant is made in the USA so you don't have to worry about vapor odors." And that's why I will be spending more on this pillow... no chemicals, please :)

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic again. I responded to this earlier but just realized that I probably initially misunderstood your question. You said 'will this contain' not 'does this contain' so I believe you meant to ask if this product would prevent the flame retardants in a conventional mattress from off-gassing. Correct? The answer is no. To contain the off-gassing you need a complete seal - no possibility of air leaking out anywhere.

Never used it because it was not a spray...more of a liquid foam. I was afraid it would damage the mattress. Ended up buying diatomaceous earth powder which worked great.

I did not see any info where it contained flame retardants. It is 100% polyester... Used to refill doggie beds where the original material had mashed flat. Still supportive and being enjoyed by my dogs after a year+. I have an additional box that I will use to give new life to flattened decorative pillows.

I did not notice a chemical smell. However, I did allow my pillow to air out for a few days before use.

I honestly don't know if it's fire retardant or not. I would suggest you try to find a corporate number for Dr. brown's and try to call the company directly. I loved my Gia pillows when I was nursing, but fire retardant was something that never occurred to me in all honesty. Sorry I can't be more helpful but I really just don't know the answer to your question.

No, this tent does not have any added chemicals used in retardants. It is flame resistant.

According to the label, it's filled with 100% Urethane foam. The label doesn't say what standards it adheres to, but there is a flammability statement, so that probably means no flame retardants. The cover is 100% cotton, again, no idea if it's treated cotton or not, but the instructions suggest putting the entire wedge under a sheet. I found that difficult to do personally, as it kept on coming uncovered. I don't have a pillowcase that's big enough for the wedge, but if I was still using it regularly I would probably make one.

I cannot smell any chemical type odor from the blanket, unsure of the Antimicorbial treatment. It is very warm after covering with it for a few minutes

This is a foam product and does not contain any type of plastic or flame retardants chemicals.

I emailed them about this because there was a strong smell when I opened the product, and here's what they said. "No chemical fire retardants are used on this order any Skip Hop products. Note that the gyms are packaged immediately after production and then packed in boxes. It is recommended you leave the product outside the packaging and the smell will dissipate."
