Chemtura fles suit against California fre-safety rule

摘要

Chemtura has fled a lawsuit in Superior Court of California in Sacramento seeking to overturn California’s new fre-safety standard for upholstered furniture. The standard, which requires furniture meet a cigarette “smolder test” to be considered safe for the public, is weaker than the old standard, Chemtura says. Until recently, California’s rules also required furniture to meet an “open fame” test in addition to the cigarette smolder test.
