I was at Sew Chic, a very complete quilt shop in Fairmont, West Virginia today and they had gorgeous, sophisticated cotton flannels. The colors and patterns were so attractive they could be made up into daywear as well as quilts/nightwear. They appeared to be high quality goods--and as pleasurable to stroke as a baby bunny. :thumbup:

i say get rid of all the warning lables and go back to survival of the fittist. the gene pool could use a little clorox. if people would just use some common sense and more importantly take responsibility for their actions, but well........ they don't.

I think that if your kid is close enough to fire for it to make a difference, you already have much bigger problems. I think no one wants to hold responsibility. In any case, the hair, hands and face are not covered. Treated fabrics doesn't offer much protection and is not permanent. Anything added to fabric eventually washes away, just like the stain resistance. I say go on and make cute pjs.

We live in a most litigious society and the manufacturers are just CYA as fast as they can. I have used flannel all my life and no one has ever been injured and I will continue to use it as long as my fingers will work.
Common sense seems in short supply today or am I just getting old and cranky?

I asked my daughter this very question a few days ago.

IS there some logic to this I am missing? If they are going to print these cute things on flannel, why not make it usable for babies and young kids?
