Mattresses - Flame retardant chemicals - mattresses - cancer - various

[Guest guest]

Mark Twain was right when he said that there are

three kinds of lies in this world: Lies. Damned

Lies. Statistics.

 

The reason that one is likelier to die in one's

bed room as a result of a fire has little to do

with the mattresses' flammability.

 

1. Most people spend more time in their bedroom

than in any other single room in their house.

2. People sleep in bedrooms and so are less alert

to danger.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - New beds hold a secret. The secret we've

uncovered during the last six months of our investigation was designed

to keep you safer, but some people claim it could be harmful to your

family's health.

 

Your bedroom can be one of the most deadly places in your house

because of your mattress. It's usually the biggest source of heat and

combustion in the room.

 

Burn tests show how quickly mattresses can ignite from an open flame

like a candle or lighter. Fires like this kill nearly 400 people each

year and injure more than 1,000.

 

You're twice as likely to die in a fire in your bedroom as in any

other room in your house. So, the Consumer Product Safety Commission

recently approved a new safety standard designed to make your mattress

safer. The law requires mattress makers to make your bed

flame-retardant. Most use chemicals to achieve a flame-retardant bed .
