What the rule says
Since January 1, 2015, the TB 117-2013 label on upholstered furniture and flexible polyurethane foam sold in California must say whether the upholstery materials contain or contain no added flame retardant chemicals, where "added" means present in a component above 1,000 parts per million. Manufacturers must keep supplier documentation supporting the statement and give it to the Bureau within 30 days of a request, or face enforcement action; the Bureau tests samples with DTSC. The statement does not apply to outdoor upholstered furniture or to covered mattresses and mattress pads.
