In home medical oxygen use
Tip sheet for medical oxygen
The use of portable medical oxygen in the home has grown over the past decade. Oxygen saturates fabric covered furniture, clothing, hair, and bedding, making it easier for a fire to start and spread. Homes where medical oxygen is used need specific fire safety rules to keep people safe from fire and burns.

I did not realize that oxygen can accumulate this way-scary. The warning signs are also an excellent suggestion-why do the companies supplying the oxygen not include them in the price of delivery to be sure they are displayed.
