Harmful residue that comes in contact with a child’s skin, are from cotton that is grown with toxic material and pesticide spray.– are undoubtedly seeping out of the very sheets, pillows and mattresses we are lying on and straight into our lungs. Why? Because Governmental statutes require that all bedding conforms to its high flame retardant safety standards. These are what can cause skin irritations, allergies, breathing and lung issues, cancers and countless other complications for our precious ones. Are you willing to take that risk by saving a few extra dollars? When shopping for child’s cozy bedding in the current market, one will find that the majority are made of highly toxic synthetic materials with attractive and beautiful packaging.
