Toxic Chemicals in Furniture and Fabrics in the UK - with Delyth Fetherston-Dilke & Sharon O’Connor

The Gavel and The Gabble · Oct 8, 2023 · 28m

Sharon O’Connor returns to the show bringing with her a fellow upholsterer, Delyth Fetherston-Dilke. The pair are here to tell Harry and Simon all about the recently published government consultation on draft fire regulations for upholstered furniture, which will involve increased use of fire retardant chemicals.

Sharon and Delyth are concerned that the harm caused by these chemicals outweighs the fire safety benefit, and believe the regulations have not given proper consideration to the re-upholstery business.
