Abstract | This article provides merchandising, housing, and design professionals, as well as educators, with a clear understanding of the program objectives and development of the Upholstered Furniture Action Council (UFAC), an industry-driven voluntary product safety association. The central mission of UFAC is to conduct research on cigarette-ignition resistant upholstering methods and to encourage compliance with voluntary standards; UFAC is comprised of furniture manufacturers, retailers, raw material suppliers, and designers. This article reviews the development and program objectives of the UFAC and the impact on public safety; it also examines fire and fire-related loss of property and life. (As Provided). |
