Canada intends to ban the use of polyurethane foam containing TCEP in children's products

Health Canada has announced a proposed regulatory amendment to prohibit the use of polyurethane foam (PUF) containing tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) in products (whole or component) intended for children under three years of age, as well as to prohibit international manufacturers from exporting children's products containing tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate to Canada
.

Tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate is a flame retardant additive
widely used in polyurethane foam, cellulose acetate, nitrofiber varnish, ethylcellulose, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, phenolic resin and other synthetic materials.
The substance is often mistaken for chlorinated tris
.
Unlike other flame retardant additives, this substance is not usually intentionally added to
toys.

At present, most manufacturers do not use tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate in polyurethane foams, replacing them
with alternatives.
The purpose of the proposed regulation is to prevent the future use of tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate in
children's products.
