Well things have gotten better in the past 20yrs but there is a long way to go. Childrens sleepware is the notable item that still contains retardants and at least there is mandatory tagging for when its present.

when I have done readings before I honestly could not find note of regulatory capture but sometimes these things get muddied with history. Saying its a scam is just hyperbole. Most of the laws on the book are tied in time to some fairly large (100+ person) fire death events. There is a reason those laws were created and we were still in a period of time where chemicals could solve all problems.
