Until recently, most foam-filled furniture contained large amounts of toxic flame retardant chemicals, substances that can cause cancer, infertility and other serious health problems. But after years of pressure from the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) and others, in 2013 California changed its rule that promoted the use of these chemicals. Given the might of the California market, that one change has created major changes in furniture sold nationwide. It is now possible to buy new furniture made without toxic flame retardants. CEH’s online shopping guides are the most up-to-date resource for buyers, whether you’re a major business buying for thousands of employees or a family looking for a new couch. The guides show that 20 office furniture companies and 37 residential furniture companies representing nearly 60 brands are now offering safer furniture made without toxic flame retardants. While the 2013 California rule (called TB 117-2013) has been in effect for a while, until this year consumers could not be sure about new furniture.

That’s because the new rule required companies to make products without additional flame retardants, but did not require them to eliminate the chemicals altogether. So, a tag on furniture stating it was “TB 117-2013 compliant” was a good indication that the product was flame-retardant free, but it was not a sure thing.

While our guides show that many companies have made progress, there is still furniture out there made with flame retardants. We wanted to test the marketplace, so I conducted an unscientific review at Bay Area outlets of three major national retailers.

I checked more than a dozen couches, chairs and other foam-filled furniture at Macy’s, but I couldn’t find a single item with the new label disclosing whether or not the furniture contains flame retardants. Even more surprising, I didn’t find a single piece that had a new TB 117-2013 tag. Under California law, companies are required to warn consumers when products can expose us to certain flame retardants that are known to cause cancer. Apparently Macy’s furniture contains one or more of these chemicals — most likely the flame retardant chlorinated Tris. But with other, safer products available from other retailers, Macy’s shoppers may want to look elsewhere (to be clear, I shopped at only one Macy’s store, so we can’t say if this is a company-wide issue or is unique to that location). The bottom line is that consumers have more information now than ever before about harmful flame retardants in furniture. In response, many furniture companies are making safer products, without these harmful chemicals.

Thanks to CEH, you no longer have to shop in the dark when you buy new furniture.
