W.T.F. seriously?

I can not believe this could be allowed!  Why are stores selling these items with known cancer-causing chemicals to anyone, especially with products that are marketed for kids????  What the fuckity fuck fuck?? We had two of these chairs in our home and we are throwing them out today.

    Honestly, the couch in your living room probably has the same stuff. Foam is not good.

    One of the sofas we liked had a disclaimer for these chemicals. No thanks.

    MIL once bought inner tubes for the kids to use at the lake cabin. I was pregnant at the time so she was reading labels (remember crazy conspiracy theory anti vax lady here) and right there it said "could cause birth defects". Yikes! She returned them. I would too.

    This was my thought. I don't see anything to get all worked up about. Everything causes cancer now days. You'd have to stop eating, drinking and breathing (and apparently sitting on furniture) to avoid it. I'm not going to knock anyone for being cautious, just one of my pet peeves.

    I strongly believe that toxic chemicals in the atmosphere are making people sick, not only in chairs but more so in the foods we consume. And the government seems more concerned with protecting Monsanto and other big businesses than in protecting consumers.

    I will step off the soap box now.
