"One of my earlier childhood memories is an overwhelming concern with flame retardants found in pajamas. I don't remember how I gained such knowledge at that age, but I remember carefully reading pajama labels with my parents at the store. Once a pair of pajamas was selected, my mother washed them repeatedly before I wore them. I couldn't have been more than 4 or 5 at the time, yet I instinctively knew that it was absurd to put flame retardants in pajamas because house fires were so rare. Somehow I knew that my chances of getting injured were much greater from the flame retardants than any fire I might encounter."
