"Nearly three-quarters of crib mattresses in this country contained "suspect or dangerous" chemicals, underscoring the need to reform the federal laws that govern chemical use, according to a report scheduled to be released Thursday.
The report by Clean and Healthy New York, an environmental health advocacy group, surveyed 28 companies that make most of the standard-size crib mattresses and found that 72 percent of mattress models use one or more chemicals of concern, including certain flame retardants, antibacterials and waterproofing additives."
