SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 29, 2003--American Fire Retardant Corp. (OTCBB:AFRR) today reiterated the fact that they do not and never have used PBDE chemicals in their fire retardants.

Stephen F. Owens, President of AFRC, says, "As we stated in our January 31, 2003 press release, we have never used PBDE chemicals in our fire retardant products and we do not advocate their use. We are issuing this press release to assure our shareholders that this ban has no effect on our company because it has never been part of our formulas."
