"As a chemist, mother, and Californian, I was dismayed when an East Coast scientific colleague said, "I try to avoid furniture and other products with a California tag because they're full of toxic chemicals". 
 
The tag he was concerned about is found on all furniture and baby products containing foam sold in our state and indicates compliance with a unique California flammability standard called Technical Bulletin 117 (TB117).  Products with such a label are likely to contain toxic flame retardant chemicals."
