I don't remember any paperwork stating that information but as I recall it was made in CA.....so, I would imagine it meets US standards. With that said...it is foam.

Check out http://www.davincibaby.com/willow-natural-coconut-palm-crib-mattress and hover your mouse over the 'Meets Federal Flammability Standard CFR-1633'. They explain that the mattress does not contain any flame retardant materials, but use a thin layer of cotton-like material (possibly with Dupont chemicals) that do not contact the user and they use Kevlar thread to make the mattress, which is flame resistant. I did notice a slight odor when I removed it from the plastic wrapper, but aired it for several months before baby arrived and the slight smell was long gone. Good luck with your purchase- we have just flipped this one to the toddler side and I am still very happy with the purchase.

I would be highly surprised and disappointed if it was treated, as I purchased the topper under the impression that it wasn't. Also, the tag doesn't specify that it is flame-retardant or compliant with the law in that regard, and in fact advises against dry cleaning, and I directly quote, "because of the harsh and toxic chemicals used during the process". That said, I LOVE this topper. I can't recommend it highly enough. It's construction and quality is superb, and has made all the difference in the world comfort- and temperature-wise on our mattress. Before purchasing this topper, my fianc and I were overheating and miserable on our supposedly nontoxic foam mattress. I got the topper to hold us over until we can afford a latex mattress instead, but will definitely continue to use this organic topper even when we do. Hope this helps!

It does not have flame retardant. (See the FAQ on Halo's website: http://www.halosleep.com/frequently-asked-questions/).

Hi. The foam is pretty firm and maintains its shape. I do not know about it being flame retardant? It comes with a removable pillowcase.

Kim, I'm not really sure. It is somewhat heavier then the others I looked at, and well made, but I just didn't need to worry about any fire-retardant quality.

I'm not sure if it's sprayed with fire retardant. Some reviewers complained about the minty smell stating it was too strong, but neither my wife nor I felt the smell was too strong, and the minty smell was gone in a few days. In fact I wish it would have lasted longer. We've almost had this mattress topper for 11 months now and we still love it and it's still very comfortable.

All of our mattresses meet the requirements of 16 CFR Part 1632 (Cigarette Smoldering Test) and 16 CFR Part 1633-Federal flammability. Our mattresses are CertiPUR-US certified which means they are made without CFC's, PBDE, and formaldehyde.

No. This tent does not have flame retardants. I think it's one of the only ones I've seen that does not. My son has this and it's great.

Hi Laurin, Our beds are free of PBDEs as well as boric acid. Our cotton-bamboo cover is quilted with a rayon blend that is inherently inflammable. This rayon is blended with sand and a small amount of polyester.

I emailed the company: both mattresses (bassinet and travel crib) are made from "polyurethane foam with a waterproof polyester cover". This entire crib is made in China. Also from the company "They do not contain any PVC, phthalates, heavy metals or flame retardants."

I was wondering the same thing, and it looks like the answer is most likely yes. One reviewer mentioned that the same product is sold in ebay, and that product description states that there is an inch foam at the center and that the mattress meets California flame retardant bulletin. See http://www.ebay.com/itm/Royal-Traditional-Japanese-Thai-Floor-Rolling-Futon-Mattresses-Beds-30-W-x-80-L-/290945623787?pt=Mattresses&hash=item43bdb5e6eb For more info on flame retardants and safety issues, go to http://www.greensciencepolicy.org/frequently-asked-questions

No, it does not contain a flame retardant. A mattress company that uses talalay latex does not recommend using a natural foam mattress topper because it's so flammable: "...you might as well put gasoline on the top of your mattress..." (My research shows that P. Thornton is correct in saying that polyurethane is extremely flammable, as is memory foam, but I believe the statement that natural Latex is not flammable is incorrect.) When used in the interior of a mattress and surrounded by wool or natural cotton, natural latex is much less likely to burn. However, if you smoke in bed or have lit candles on the nightstand, it would NOT be a good idea to use a talalay topper. On the other hand, if you don't smoke in bed and keep lit candles a safe distance from the bed, by all means use natural latex as a topper.

Just wanted to mention: PBDE is NOT the only chemical flame retardant. The fact that the email quoted below does not state that Oeuf pads are free of TDCPP or other known carcinogens, when combined with the fact that they contain urethane foam, means they probably do contain flame retardants.

I was wondering the same thing. I purchased one over a year ago and just recently learned about all the fire retardants in infant clothing and bedding. I contacted Serta and here was their response: Thank you for contacting Serta. We are glad that you took the time to email us and appreciate the opportunity to respond. Serta manufactures mattresses and foundations. We license independently owned companies to make many types of furniture and bedding accessories using the Serta brand name.

The manufacturer contact information is listed below: La Jobi Industries - (888) 266-2848, (609) 409-2495, www.lajobi.com, or email: bcurran@lajobi.com I am disappointed that they don't have more information--or that they are choosing to withhold the information--about a product sold under their name. I'll email the company mentioned and post what I find out.
