ckcowl thank you for the FYI. i make bath and body items & body butters from raw materials. i have a whole binder just on government regulations on labeling my items. i would hate to get sued or fined because someone suffered from something i created and sold. i have ingredient fact sheets i include when selling my products so the purchaser will have a good idea of what they are getting before purchasing. there are those of us who want to abide by the laws and sell safe things to the public.

my qulit fabrics come from all over the world so i can never be sure what was added to the fabrics before i received them. plus a lot of fabric is manufactured in china now and many of us are aware that china includes all sorts of unsafe materials in products they manufacture just looking at the recent company recalls that have taken place the last couple of years.

keep doing the right thing whether others take your advice or not. the same people you are sounding the alarm to are the same ones who are benefitting from the laws put in place by our government. many of us read labels before we purchase items ourselves. we want to know what we are purchasing.... if something lists contents unknown it's a sure bet i won't be buying it.

this labeling information helps me as i am preparing specialty quilts for a vendor event this november. when i had my boutique clothing line, i content labeled all of my clothes including care labels. now i know i need to do the same thing for my quilting products. thanks again.
