Get Best Buy to Remove Harmful Flame Retardants from their TVs
Best Buy Headquarters
Recent testing confirmed that the plastic casings of three out of three TVs purchased from Best Buy, including store brand Insignia TVs, contain these toxic chemicals which can be released into the air and dust. These products are exposing our families to compounds linked to cancer and hormone disruption within our own homes.
Time is ticking. We need retailers like Best Buy to lead the charge in shifting the marketplace and safeguarding us from these harmful chemicals. Tell Best Buy, the #1 North American electronics retailer, to stop selling TVs with plastic containing toxic flame retardants.
Here’s the good news: these harmful chemicals can be replaced with safer alternatives. Some companies are already using alternative chemicals or innovating to avoid these chemicals altogether. Electronics brands like Apple have done this for laptops, and TV brands can innovate too!
The bottom line is that buying a TV shouldn’t pollute your home with toxic chemicals.
Join us in telling Best Buy: No toxic TVs! It's time Best Buy uses their purchasing power to get toxic chemicals out of their TVs.

Buying a TV should be a source of entertainment, not chemical pollution. It's time to take action to protect your consumers from this unnecessary harm.
TVs sold at Best Buy's stores across the country contain toxic flame retardant chemicals that have been repeatedly linked to cancer and hormone disruption.
I urge you to use your power as North America’s top electronics retailer to get organohalogen and other toxic flame retardants out of the TVs you sell, starting with your store-brand TVs.
