New Orleans, Louisiana — The US consumer product safety commission (CPSC)'s split guidance to ban the use of halogenated flame retardants in polyurethane foam was 'political,' said Lee Salamone, speaking here on the fringes of the CPI annual meeting.
The CPSC decision was unexpected.
Arlene Blum, who's Green Science Policy Institute petitioned for the CPSC to adopt CAL TB 117 flammability standard along with the American Home Furnishings Alliance in 2015 wrote in an email 'many years of hard work paid off when, to our amazement, the CPSC commissioners voted to enact the petition.'
