Rejected petition Ban all fire retardants / oblige suppliers to include chemicals used on labels
Ban all fire retardants and chemicals from furniture and appliances that we are exposed to daily. All suppliers must be legally obliged to be 100% transparent and label all the chemicals used when manufacturing their products. We have the right to choose what we bring into our homes before purchase.
More details
The UK government has repeateadly ignored the health risks that fire retardants posing to our health for decades. While Europe and USA is banning these nasty chemicals, UK residents must be by law exposed to them. It is time to put an end to the systematic poisoning of our nation. We demand and have every right to live a healthy life. Fire retardants cause cancer, autoimmune diseases, thyroid disruption, pet cancer and the 'safety' that they provide is more than questionable.
