Summary: Three manufacturers of a commonly used fire retardant have voluntarily agreed to phase out its production within three years in a pact with the Environmental Protection Agency. Environmentalist have wanted a ban on the retardant decabromodiphenyl ether, which is used in consumer electronics, furniture, because it can be toxic to the nervous system.
Response: This is a good thing that they are looking out for the common good rather than just using this product because it is cheap and gets the job done. Overall this is good because who knows what kind of long term damage it is causing.
