I just got a contract to produce a run of chairs that have poly foam in the slip seat and back cushions. When I went to buy the foam wholesale, the sales person told me that I would need to have my chair cushions flame tested and certified if they are not for personal use. They are intended to be sent in sets of four to my customer’s franchisees. So, each franchise will buy four chairs. There is no money budgeted for legal fees and flame tests. And the chairs will go all over the country, to far-flung jurisdictions. Do any of you have experience with this potential liability issue?

I think you need a different supplier. It seems to me that the flame certification ought to be from a foam manufacturer who makes specialized products for just such circumstances.
