			== Do Chicco strollers have flame retardants? ==
			In a statement on its website, Chicco said that all Chicco strollers "do not use flame retardants."

			The company does market a series of car seats and one stroller (the Corso Primo) as part of its ClearTex line. "ClearTex® fabric features no added chemicals for child comfort and parent peace of mind," said the company.<ref>https://www.chiccousa.com/cleartex/</ref> "ClearTex® utilizes an innovative construction of polyester fibers to produce fabrics that are inherently fire-resistant (and gentle on baby),no additional chemical fire retardants necessary."

			In 2022, a [https://www.classaction.org/blog/class-action-claims-chicco-failed-to-disclose-use-of-flame-retardants-forever-chemicals-in-keyfit-30-car-seat class action lawsuit] was filed against Chicco for the use of flame retardants in their car seats. <ref>https://www.classaction.org/blog/class-action-claims-chicco-failed-to-disclose-use-of-flame-retardants-forever-chemicals-in-keyfit-30-car-seat</ref>
