Re bgc post, this is in error and 787 uses epoxies throughout which are indeed flammable and also have smoke and toxicity issues. The whole subject can be researched under FST(Fire,Smoke and Toxicity) and FST issue of epoxies is why there are banned on all aircraft interiors being replaced by phenolics back in 1970's due to many fatalities.
In summary, there is a major problem which needs FST full scale testing prior to any certification or EIS.
