Reported risk: Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has revealed that this product made, in whole or in part, of polyurethane foam (PUF) contains tris (2-chlorethyl) phosphate (TCEP) and can pose a chemical hazard to young children. TCEP is an industrial chemical with flame retardant properties. It is commonly used as a plasticizer and viscosity regulator with flame retardant properties in polyurethanes. Children's polyurethane foam products that contain TCEP have the potential to cause harmful effects in children under three years of age. Migration of TCEP from PUF products as a result of young children's mouthing behaviour, such as sucking or chewing, may contribute to oral exposure to this substance, including through fabric coverings. TCEP is considered a carcinogen for which there may be a probability of harm at any level of exposure and it may cause impaired fertility in males. Neither phil & teds nor Health Canada has received any consumer reports of incidents or injuries to Canadians related to the use of this polyurethane foam product.
