Oh, swell!
Now my vinyl shower curtain is toxic! Story on KOMO tonight about all the toxins used to make them.

2. You should have smelled the piece of garbage I bought called a MEMORY FOAM TOPPER for my bed!
Actually, we bought two of them.

The first one was in the grandkids room "airing out" for nine days. I thought I would vomit every time I smelled it. (Back to Costco.)

The second one, also from Costco, was supposed to "air out" in a couple of days in the GARAGE. After six days, I screamed at my husband to remove it OR ELSE.

The Costco people were very nice. Seems viscoelastic foam just stinks to high heaven. I'm not willing to wait until I have bronchial problems and God-knows-what-else!

Thanks for your post.

Cordially,

Radio Lady Ellen Kimball

3. I saw that story too
I must say, it was fairly unclear about what you COULD buy, and where.

5. Ikea, Target, Penney's and Macy's
all sell non-vinyl curtains. Often they're made out of cotton and are cheaper than vinyl.
