Nikki Lee asks why these flame retardant chemicals are in the textiles.
Sure, they wouldn't save a life if the whole house were on fire. But what
if the children were among that segment of the population choosing
'occasional fresh air' and since they are too young to read the warnings,
were smoking in bed?
We have fire safety exercises at my hospital and those flame retardant
bedlinens do slow things down remarkably if a fire starts in a bed... but
there is a total ban on smoking within 20 yards of the hospital so I am not
sure what the point of it is there either.
