This market resolves based on whether a replication attempt of the original study reproduces the original findings; or not.

 found that flame retardants (FRs) were present in 85% of analyzed household products, with concentrations up to 22,800 mg/kg. These chemicals, including brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs), are commonly used in electronics but can pose health risks including carcinogenicity, endocrine disruption, and neurotoxicity.
