People today want a guarantee on life's experiences that are their responsibility. No one can prevent a fire unless they use common sense and don't start one. Everything around us can't be made fireproof but we can all be aware of the dangers of fire.
Most of us have used flannel without the retardant for clothing and bedding. I agree, what is the sense of making flannel for children's clothing if you can't use it for them. I say, use whatever flannel you see you like and love your children so much, you will prevent fires in your own home by not using candles or smoking, they cause the most fires.

Totally agree with this Carol with one additional point: The flannel is not going to spontaneously combust! It's just not flame retardant. You don't have to worry about the kids running too fast in their PJs and the friction from their legs rubbing together causing them to burst into flames.
