Are grobag® baby sleeping bags fire retardant?
A. Outer fabric and lining: Where possible, grobag uses 100% cotton lining on grobag® baby sleeping bags in order to have a natural and breathable product like cotton next to the baby’s skin. The only possible way in which to fire retard cotton is to add chemicals and grobag believes that the risk to an infant of direct contact with these chemicals (by skin contact, sucking or inhaling) outweighs the potential risks associated with fire. Filling: The filling of the 2.5 tog grobag® baby sleeping bags is fire retardant. It is made from 100% polyester which is constructed in such a way as to meet fire retardancy requirements without adding any chemicals. (Organic 2.5 tog grobag® baby sleeping bags have a cotton filling which is not fire retardant.) Although the cotton lining and the outer fabric are not fire retarded, the use of the inherently fire retardant polyester filling on the 2.5 tog grobag® baby sleeping bags effectively acts as a fire retardant “barrier.
