A gas-generating composition of matter which burns to produce a non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-flammable combustion product. The composition comprises: A. plasticized polyvinyl chloride fuel binder; and B. certain inorganic oxidizer salts; and C. lithium carbonate; The oxidizer is present in an amount at least sufficient to convert all available carbon to carbon dioxide and to convert all available hydrogen to water and to fully oxidize all available alkaline earth metals. The lithium carbonate is present in an amount at least sufficient to convert all available halogen to lithium halide. The composition is useful to generate gas in a vehicle occupant restraint system.
