MILWAUKEE, Wis. - A flame retardant that was taken out of children's pajamas more than 30 years ago after it was found to cause cancer is being used with increasing regularity in furniture, paint, even baby carriers and bassinets - and manufacturers are under no obligation to let the public know about it. The chemical, known as chlorinated Tris, one of the three most commonly used flame retardants, is considered harmful by several international and national health and regulatory agencies, including the National Cancer Institute, the World Health Organization and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
New York Times News Service WASHINGTON The National Cancer Institute halted a three-year international study using Celebrex because long-term use of the painkiller at high doses more than tripled risk of heart problems, the drug's manufacturer said Friday.
