They say "Not for Children's Sleepwear" and that is because they haven't been treated with the flame retardant that childrens "flanellette" pajamas have. I think it's a law that all sleepwear for children under a certain age has to be treated with the stuff.
This has been a hot topic on some other groups. The treated fabrics smell funny & feel slick. I don't like them for quilting so I'm going to continue to use regular cotton flannel and acrylic fleece for baby quilts and just continue to hope that the babies I give them to are never in a house fire or that anyone uses the baby blanket I made to smother a fire.
