It appears that they are not. Here is a link to a blog where someone wrote and asked them: ladyplusbaby.com/?tag=halo-response-about-fire-retardant ...it's on the ladyplusbaby website and is a post tagged "halo-response-about-fire-retardant"...in case the weblink is blocked. On that page is posted these emails from Halo: Randall, Polyester is a natural flame retardant fabric; therefore all our fleece and comfort mesh items pass the standards with out flame retardant chemicals. Our cotton sleepsacks are made without the chemicals but can only pass the standards in the smaller sizes. This is the reason they are only made in these sizes. The flame resistance standards for children's sleepwear gets stricter as the sizes get larger. This is due to the mobility of the child increasing with size. If you have any other questions, please let us know. Christy Halo Innovations Customer Service ---------------------------------------------- Hello Randall, We do not use any flame resistance chemicals on any of our items. They pass the minimum standards for flame resistance without the use of chemicals. The standards are different based upon the size and mobility of the child therefore, the standards for larger or older children are more strict than for infants. This is why some of our products are only available in certain sizes. There are different CPSC levels of FR standards. The SleepSack wearable blanket falls into category 1610 which is for bedding categories. IF we were in a pajama category which is 1615 then the cotton SleepSacks would not pass without treatment. If you would like to learn more about this please visit the CPSC web site. http://www.cpsc.gov/ Regards, Karen Customer Service Halo Innovations Also on the Halosleep FAQ page, they say they are not chemically treated also. Hope that helps.

No it is not treated with any chemicals, I called their customer service line to verify.

The smaller sizes are not treated w/flame retardants. Polyester is a natural flame retardant w/o using chemicals. Hope this helps.

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 cannot technically answer that, but I will tell you my five-year-old grandson took a barbeque lighter and tried to set it on fire in two spots. Thankfully, it only smoldered and made two holes (not all the way through) in the fabric, so I would guess it fortunately has some flame retardant.

They use Boric Acid as a flame retardant. It is in the product description.

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

Hello, We do apologize, the only information we have from the manufacturer is that this contains CA117 Fire Retardant Foam. If you need anything else, please let us know. Thank you.

Hi. I'm writing from Naturepedic. Absolutely not. We don't use those flame retardants in any of our products.

Hello, and thank you for your question about the Close and Secure Sleeper! This item does not have flame retardants.

I have no idea what makes it fire retardant. The mattress did not have an odor that I could make out when it arrived. I have loved the mattress so far and it has been 3 months.

Ours did Not have a chemical, smelled a little like plastic it was wrapped in, but that soon (1-2hr) faded away. Warning though, its no 3 inches, we let is relax for 4 hr and never ever got near 3 inch in depth, very disappointing

The only mention of flame retardant on the box says "Notice: this article meets the flammability requirements of California Bureau of Home Furnishings Technical Bulletin 117. Care should be exercised near open flame or with burning cigarettes."

Yes, it is. Be aware however, a label inside says that washing or dry cleaning will remove the flame retardant agent.

I do know that it is lead and latex free. I do not recall seeing anything on or in the packaging about flame retardants. These have worked wonderfully for us, both at home and on vacation. I know use them on a full size bunk bed and its perfect. Just a note to self....always put them under your waterproof mattress cover instead of on top.

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.

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, this tent does not have any added chemicals used in retardants. It is flame resistant.

There are no flame retardant chemicals. The flammability requirements are met by using natural fibers, such as cotton, instead of more flammable petroleum-based fillers, such as polyurethane foam.
