Existing law, the Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation Act, requires all seating furniture sold or offered for sale, as specified, to be fire retardant and labeled. The Bureau of Electronic and Appliance Repair, Home Furnishings, and Thermal Insulation has adopted, by regulation, a flame retardance test of the filling materials of residential upholstered furniture. This bill, effective September 1, 2013, would revise these provisions to instead require all seating furniture sold or offered for sale to meet a smolder flammability test rather than an open flame-test. The bill would make legislative findings and declarations in that regard.
This measure would recognize the month of February 2012 as American Heart Month in California and recognize February 3, 2012, as Wear Red Day in California.
