A class of brominated flame retardants known as polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs) are under assault from environmental activists and regulators both in the United States and overseas. Flame retardants give people more time to escape a fire by delaying flashover, the explosive-like eruption of flames responsible for most of the fatalities and property damage in residential fires. PBDEs are particularly effective flame retardants and have long been widely used in the manufacture of televisions and other electrical equipment, furniture, and mattresses.

A July 19, 2006 article by John Johnston quotes ACSH's Jeff Stier:
"Egged on by the food police, people think they are doing the healthier thing -- and are willing to sacrifice and eat the baked snacks."
The tone in Jeff Stier's voice is filled with the irony at the word "sacrifice."
However, those "sacrifices" are in vain, according to Stier, associate director of the American Council of Science and Health (ACSH).

The Senate is currently considering legislation which would prohibit the FDA from including on FDA scientific advisory boards scientists "with industry ties" to drug manufacturers (the House already approved this legislation). Today, FDA's Dr. Scott Gottlieb emphatically opposed this proposed legislation, declaring that it would deprive FDA of advice from the best and brightest scientists in America.
