  • Reiterating EFRA's point that HBCD was only present in a minority of the food samples, Dr Phillipe Salemis, EFRA director, emphasised that "in those where [HBCD was detected], it was far below levels where one might see adverse health effects".

    "Most of the'bad press' in relation to flame retardants, is the result of non-scientific allegations," global industrial products manufacturer, ICL, told IM.

    "We have seen strong market pull for our new flame retardant, which replaces the existing HBCD products and offers significant improvement over current products," Great Lakes told IM.
