Tell Your Assembly Member: Support the Disclosure of Toxic Flame Retardants!
This is scheduled to be heard tomorrow August 26th. DONT DELAY!
CPF-sponsored legislation, SB 1019 (Leno), exposes the use of flame retardant chemicals in uphostered furniture that produce cancer-causing agents when they burn, putting firefighters and the public at risk.
This legislation embraces the spirit and intent of Resolution 34, which was unanimously approved this past July by delegates to IAFF's 52nd Biennial Convention. SB 1019 will be voted on by the full Assembly in a few days.

Exposing how these flame retardants are used is an important step to reducing the exposure of firefighters to these cancer-causing agents. Yet the chemical industry is launching a deceptive all-out media blitz to kill the measure.
