  Depending on what you read/watch, everything you touch, breathe, smell and eat negatively affects your baby. I assume you aren't getting rid of all of your furniture or planning to stand for the remainder if your pregnancy so I wouldn't stress about it!

  You are better off reading peer reviewed published science articles than watching a documentary.  They are very one-sided and often only give facts that have the most dramatic impact on viewers.  I think the toxin you are talking about, if I remember correctly from what I've read, is not nearly as dangerous as many of the pesticides and antibiotics we all consume on a daily basis in our foods.  Think of it more like saccharin* (6 million packets might give you cancer in 50 years) - it will give you cancer if you swim in it and breath it in 6 hours a day for like 70 years.  Many of the toxic chemicals used in fabrics and stuffings are only toxic in extreme amounts over very long periods of time.  Try to take it all with a grain of salt.
  
  Disclaimer* I totally made up the saccharin thing to make a point.  It is some ridiculous number over an extremely long period of time, but I don't remember the actual numbers.

  Even stuff you buy for baby will be like this. Some study done somewhere will prove everything harmful...then another study will disprove it...and on and on. Just use common sense and do the best you can!
