Flame Retardant Free Furniture - Meeting Consumer and Regulatory Demand

Featuring:

Steve Freeman, Room and Board, Sustainable Furnishing Council
Kathleen Schuler, Healthy Legacy, Conservation Minnesota
Did you know a new Minnesota law bans four toxic flame retardants in upholstered furniture and children's products to protect the health of families and firefighters? Minnesota-based Room and Board is committed to making quality furniture using sustainable materials without the use of toxic flame retardants and other chemicals of concern.

Come meet key legislators, community advocates, and fire fighters who were essential to the passing of this bill, and to learn about local businesses like Room and Board who are already making furniture without toxic flame retardants to meet consumer and regulatory demand. Complimentary refreshments provided.
