When Barry Cik went to a baby store to buy a crib mattress for
his first grandchild in 2003, he was concerned by what he found
in the products: assorted chemicals, vinyl/PVC with phthalates,
polyurethane foam with flame retardants, formaldehyde, GMOs,
glues/adhesives, and more.
Cik said. “When I asked the salesperson about it, he tried to
reassure me by saying, ‘oh, come on; if it wasn’t safe the
government wouldn’t allow it to be sold!’ And I said, ‘you’ve got
to be kidding me.’” “I just couldn’t buy it,”
