High Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Car seats are made primarily from plastic and foam, both of which can contain flame retardants, PFAS, and other toxic chemicals. Children spend significant time in car seats, often in hot cars where chemical off-gassing is accelerated. The foam padding in car seats has been found to contain halogenated flame retardants linked to neurodevelopmental harm.
