this is true; years ago when there was so much polyester and like in fabrics children in fires were getting severly burned because the fabric would melt to their skins. You rarely see those types of fabrics now w/childrens themes on them. Now fabrics w/children themes comes w/warnings to protect the companies. I don't blame them; there are some who will sue even if the know the damage is due to their own negligence
