That seems like faulty logic. How many more fires would be caused without fire retardant furniture? Nobody is running to their couch in the midst of a house fire for safety, this is simply attempting to eliminate a potential source of ignition. How many of those 2-3,000 deaths had smoke alarms in their homes? Obviously those don't work either, lets get rid of them right??

So you're proposing that the fire retardant materials used in furniture offers NO additional protection from ignition from a heat source such as a cigarette or a nearby space heater than one that was made from non-fire retardant material?
