I'm having trouble finding the companies that actually use these things. My next step is to just call them arbitrarily (I'm thinking of contacting Dell first). I have found some interesting info, though.
"The only US manufacturer of Penta- and OctaBDE commercial mixtures voluntarily ceased production in December 2004." (Environment Canada)
Connecticut has already banned PBDEs.
California and Washington have as well. (NOTE: California did not ban decaBDE, which is the most commonly used)
EDIT:Many of the "big names" have already stopped using PBDEs in response to bans in Europe. Guess I won't be calling Dell, but maybe I can find them somewhere else?
