Upholstered Furniture Action Council

What is UFAC?

The all-industry, voluntary solution designed to increase protection of consumers from cigarette fires started in upholstered furniture.

The Upholstered Furniture Action Council was founded in 1978 to make upholstered furniture more resistant to ignition from smoldering cigarettes which are the leading cause of upholstery fires in the home. Household fires from smoldering ignition have been reduced substantially since its inception. According to the latest figures there has been a 79.3% decline in the number of upholstered furniture fires from cigarette ignition.

UFAC does not manufacture any upholstered furniture products.
