has the blanket been contain or has been sprayed with any chemicals or flame retardants? I'm looking for a flame retardant free blanket for baby.

No chemicals or flame retardants according to the label. Just Alpaca wool. Very light weight. Possibly too large for an infant. Might get tangled up in a crib. I love mine. Just right for this prolonged cold or hot spring.

Tasha, I also cannot confirm if the blanket has been treated. I can say it is the best blanket I have ever had. It had no odor and was very soft and comfortable straight from the package. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

I do not know. It is warm. It served its purpose. I wouldnt recommend it though.

You will not find a non-treated baby blanket in the United States. It is illegal - for good reason - to sell such a thing in interstate commerce.

It is not alpaca and burns like cheap plasting, meaning fast! look at this video: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1DUAL4ZTT6CXT/

I do not believe that the blanket has been treated with anything, but it is a large blanket, about queen sized, and if it gets dirty it does need to be dry-cleaned. The blanket looks, feels, and needs to be cared for like cashmere, only it is even more valuable because it is alpaca. In my opinion it is both too large and not washable enough to be a baby blanket. For that purpose I would look for an undyed and organic cotton blanket of the correct size.

Dear Tasja, I cannot say if the blanket has been treated in any way. But I can say that I and the 10+ people for whom I have bought this blanket all think it is a wonderful product. Light, very warm, comfortable.

Sorry, I do not know. Perhaps you might ask mfg'r. This blanket is way too big for an infant, it is the size of a twin bed sheet. I see another responder said that too. Could tangle up an unattended baby.

No, Naturepedic items do not contain chemical flame retardants. This item is non-toxic.

This is made of all natural latex. There are no synthetics in it. It does not have any toxic fire retardants.

I specifically ordered this to avoid any chemicals or off-gassing components. As far as I have found, it is just simply a natural latex topper, nothing added. I needed it for when I was pregnant and from day one we slept on it with great comfort and no unpleasant smell etc. We love it! As far as it being unused, I think it is now illegal to resell any bedding or mattress related products due to the bed bug scare. But this is something you'd have to check with the company. Ours was brand new and completely vacuum sealed rather impressively haha.

Not at all! I know what you're talking about too. This is actually a very nice product. We haven't had the opportunity to test it's full potential as "waterproof" b/c usually it's just his blanket that gets wet but so far I'm very happy with it. Hope that helps!

I am unaware of any chemicals used on the husks. The product is advertised as 100% organic, which I would take to be free of chemicals. I have taken the husks out of the pillow in order to wash the cover and noticed no odd odors or colors.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. To be honest I can't remember and I've lost the original paperwork, probably because it's been about two years since purchase. However if I were to judge simply by touch and sight I would say the materials were a synthetic blend. The mattress cover, cotton. Flame retardant? Not likely, especially since everything can go through the washing machine. Most items I've encountered that are "flame retardant" are NOT machine washable. Safety certifications? None that I remember, though I was very thorough in reading the warnings. They were fairly simple. Do NOT use once child begins to roll over. Do NOT use if child exceeds certain weight. (The certain weight I cannot remember. I had a smaller baby so reaching the weight limits were not a concern for us.) The Arm's Reach came with very simple instructions as well as a detailed do's and do not's that kept my little one safe, as well as a friends little one safe. Now we're getting ready to use it for our second, and I would not pause a moment to loan or gift it to another expecting mom.

When i search from web I found out that Tiny Love does not use fire retardants on their cloth, But best way to verify that is mail/call directly to the manufacturer.

I don't know but I don't wash any of my little ones clothes in fabric softener or dryer sheets, that I read was something that caused the clothes to become less flame retardant

Don't know, but I doubt it. it is a very similar material to other fleece pajamas. I have never heard of children's pajamas being treated with flame retardants, but maybe I am out of the loop. Would contact the manufacturer if I were you. Good luck!

On the label just says: 100 percent urethane foam. But it is made by Baby Time Int'l and the phone number is 1(973) 4817400; or you can try to contact them on e-mail: babytimeinternational@gmail.com. On their page all mattresses state that: "Proudly made in the usa and meets or exceeds all flammability, Lead, Phthalate and cpsia testing." And that they are "non-allergic". But that one is currently not listed. I hope You find out. I would call. It doesn't hurt. Good luck.

Not according to their website or product data. I researched this product and found it seemed safe. They get around having to add flame retardants by not using the crazy flammable material (foam) that requires it. Instead they use naturally more flame resistant materials (eg. wool, cotton, natural rubber depending on which model you get).

Fire retardants are so commonly used in furnishings that I'd suggest asking the manufacturer to be sure. If chemicals are present, with more and more people concerned about chemical exposure, they may not note it on the packaging lest it reduce sales.I subsequently found this answer in this thread: "I emailed Luna, who responded with this quote 'Our protectors are not treated with anything at all.'"

I'm not sure what chemicals were or weren't used in the production process, but they definitely have no residue/powder/smell/etc. I use these instead of wet wipes for our baby and they're pretty much perfect.

No, it does not contain a flame retardant. A mattress company that uses talalay latex does not recommend using a natural foam mattress topper because it's so flammable: "...you might as well put gasoline on the top of your mattress..." (My research shows that P. Thornton is correct in saying that polyurethane is extremely flammable, as is memory foam, but I believe the statement that natural Latex is not flammable is incorrect.) When used in the interior of a mattress and surrounded by wool or natural cotton, natural latex is much less likely to burn. However, if you smoke in bed or have lit candles on the nightstand, it would NOT be a good idea to use a talalay topper. On the other hand, if you don't smoke in bed and keep lit candles a safe distance from the bed, by all means use natural latex as a topper.

No chemicals and I think any person could use , but that is my opinion, it is a great product. I woul suggest asking your child's Dr.

This product is not flame retardant (also apparent by the product tags). This is one of the prime reasons i purchased this product: I did not want to expose my child to flame retardant chemicals. I hope this helps. -TJ
