The Chanler Group Releases Tested Furniture List for Consumer Awareness
The Chanler Group has published a list of furniture products that contain no detectable levels of tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCPP) and tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), flame retardants known to the State of California to cause cancer.
TDCPP and TCEP leach from contaminated products and affix to dust, placing small children, toddlers, and infants at an increased risk of exposure via inhalation and/or ingestion. Dermal contact with the contaminated components also presents exposure to these toxic chemicals in adults and children alike. The Chanler Group generates and provides this list to raise consumer awareness for those concerned about the health hazards affiliated with exposure to these toxic chemicals and who are also interested in toxin-free furniture products.
