I presume you are referring to upholstered (overstuffed) furniture, in which the covers (fabrics or other cover materials) do not meet the new California standards for flammability resistence.

Please consider application of approved surface retardants, (surfactants) sprayed onto all exposed surfaces. This will bring each item into compliance and you can then sell them freely, with a tag certifying compliance, etc.

You may wish to seek assistance and advice from an Interior Designer or other expeert to assist you. Call me for further information, without charge or obligation.

Sincerely,
