One contained unlawful amounts of lead and five other toys contained brominated flame retardants.
I am in favour of the ban on brominated fire retardants, which have clearly been demonstrated to be harmful.
I do not in actual fact believe that the amendment concerning flame retardants is of any benefit to the environment.
We also know that the quantity of brominated flame retardants in breast milk has been increasing each year.
The chemical effect of the use of solvents, or scrubbing with soap and water, will be considerable on the flame retardant properties over a period.
The pillows, woollen blankets and rugs are not flame retardant, but work is in hand to develop and introduce flame retardant versions.
The regulations require that textiles used in the manufacture of children's nightwear, but, ironically, not adult nightwear, are flame retardant.
I have received a number of representations from suppliers of nursery furniture regarding fire retardant treatments for cover fabric.
