Flame retarding chemicals are used in a number of products including infant clothing, pajamas, and car seats. Your nursing mother asks you about the best type of car seat to buy for the 6-month-old infant. What should you recommend?
  1. A car seat with any flame retardant in the cushion.
  2. A car seat with at least any two flame retardants.
  3. A car seat with a flame retardant known to be safe.
  4. A car seat without any flame retardants at all.
Explanation
Answer: C - You should recommend a car seat with a flame retardant that is known to be safe. Several flame-retarding chemicals can leak from the cushions and lead to problems with neurological development, reproductive development and cancer. Because the research on these toxins and other things like baby toys and equipment is continuous, it is important to check the most recent reliable information relating to recalls and toxic chemicals in baby products.
