Q1: Why is this chair not available to sell to California?
A:
The chair's flexible polyurethane foam inserts do not comply with the California upholstered furniture flammability standard (California TB117) which requires polyurethane foam to be resistant to both smoldering and small, open flame ignition. The outer covering does meet California standards and is flame retardant.
Polyurethane foam is almost always covered by some material, and the foam itself is not typically the first of these components to ignite. California has the strictest standards for upholstered furniture. The other 49 states do not currently fall under these restrictions.
