A powerful new film on the toxic dangers in our homes

Are the flame retardant chemicals in your couch toxic? Toxic Hot Seat, an HBO documentary, brings to light the deadly consequences of well-intentioned safety regulations. The film follows a courageous group of firefighters and mothers, journalists and scientists, politicians and activists as they fight to expose the chemical industry’s role in backing flammability standards that require toxic flame retardant use in our homes.

Panel discussion will follow the film. Light refreshments will be offered.

Friday, November 7th 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm.
