Considering buying new pillows?

Flame retardants in furniture, pillows, etc may be very dangerous to our health. Folks here like to put-down
the Europeans, but get this......"New chemicals must be proved safe before they can be used in Europe. In good ole
USA, chemicals have to be proved unsafe before you can get them off the market."..New York Times.    Here there is no problem marketing
and spreading chemicals anytime , anything, anywhere until somebody proves them unsafe.  For example, flame retardants (PBDE s) in foam furniture padding, TV casings  and plastics and foam may cause
breast problems...found in mother's milk and now there are big issues around increasing thyroid problems in people connected to chemicals in everything.
 
When are we Americans going to get smart about health?
