Upholstered furniture flammability and the consumer / E.M. Crown, Faculty of Home Economics, the University of Alberta and S.A. Brown, Faculty of Human Ecology, the University of Manitoba. : RG23-79/1984E-PDF
"This summary describes an experiment about consumer choice of upholstery fabric. The purpose of the study was to prepare and test the effect of several different approaches to providing consumers with information and educating them about the flammability of upholstered furniture. The study measured the effect of these different approaches on: (1) consumers' awareness and understanding of fabric flammability and some related issues, and (2) consumers' evaluations of some sample pieces of upholstery fabric differing in ability to resist ignition and their choice from those samples. The findings prompt the authors to recommend a mandatory flammability standard for upholstered furniture in Canada."
