CPSC staff performed a preliminary assessment of the potential health risks associated with the use of selected FR chemicals in upholstered furniture foam. FR-treated foam samples that could be used to meet the draft standard and were available to the CPSC staff for testing included melamine tris(l,3-dichloro-2-propyl)phosphate (TDCP) a mixture containing triphenyl phosphate (TPP), phenol isopropylated phosphate (PIP), and octyl tetrabromobenzoate (OTB). Other flame-retardants that could be used in foam have been discussed by the U.S. EPA Design for the Environment Program. Based on limited exposure or toxicity data, the following preliminary conclusions were published in 2006 ...
