"Does Your Baby's Crib Mattress Contain Dangerous and Toxic Chemicals?"

95% of ALL Crib Mattresses Sold in America may be UNSAFE For Your Baby To Sleep On?and we have compelling evidence that they can contribute to SIDS!

Here are the FACTS:

On July 1, 2007, a new government law was passed by the CPSC that mandated the use of flame retardant chemicals in ALL consumer mattresses sold in America, including crib mattresses!

The purpose of this law is to reduce the risk of fire injury and that sounds like a noble and just cause?BUT, the problem is that the flame retardant chemicals that are being used in crib mattresses today are potentially dangerous and toxic to all humans, especially newborns.

These harsh chemicals can combine with a common household fungus (that often lives in mattresses) and lead to the production of toxic and deadly ?nerve gases? that can have catastrophic consequences for a newborn. In some cases, this can be toxic enough to shut down a baby?s breathing in literally minutes, leading to SIDS.

This has been proven convincingly in MANY studies over the last decade, primarily in England and New Zealand. In fact, Dr. James Sprott has even written a book titled, ?The Cot Death Cover Up?? that explores this issue in great detail. His research and conclusions are irrefutable and they prove that SIDS is a case of toxic poisoning stemming from flame retardant chemicals found in crib mattresses.

His research further validates that not even ONE baby has been lost to SIDS when they are properly shielded from these toxic flame retardant chemicals found in most crib mattresses.

In fact, he suggests that the ONLY sure way to prevent SIDS is to (more)
