Study Finds Banned Chemicals in Kids’ Mattresses

Researchers detected concerning levels of long‑banned flame retardants in several popular children’s mattresses sold online. The chemicals have been linked to hormonal disruption and developmental issues; brands are reviewing supply chains.

What this means for you:
Parents may want to check labels or opt for Certified GOTS/GOLS mattresses until recalls or clarifications arrive.
Rising demand for “clean” home goods could spur tighter U.S. safety standards and ingredient disclosure rules.
If you already purchased one, a mattress protector and room ventilation can reduce exposure while you await guidance.
