Firm Sold Suspected Cancer-Causing Sleepwear to Consumers
A Washington firm admitted at a closed House subcommittee hearing that about three quarters of 25 000 pounds of Tris treated sleepwear were not cut into rags as allowed but were sold to consumers via its Chicopee outlet. President Edward S Wright said profits reached 15 000 to 20 000 dollars. The company is one of five flagged by the CPSC for selling banned garments to kids. A criminal case followed for another firm. Wright declined further comment. The flame retardant in question prompted the CPSC to ban its use in children's sleepwear due to cancer risk.
