Fire Retardants Linked With Health Problems email this discussion to a friend?

The problem is that these chemicals are linked to cancer and birth defects. They migrate from the furniture into the air, the dust, the waterways, and end up in fish, animals and people.

And even the Environmental Protection Agency suggests cats are paying a price with their health. Before the 1970's, hyperthyroidism in cats was virtually unknown. Today it is one of the leading killers of cats.

Studies show flame retardant chemicals have been detected in blue whales in the Arctic and harbor seals in San Francisco Bay.
