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.

All I can say is the woman who sued Mcd. because their coffee was hot and burned her when she sat it on the seat of the car between her legs was lucky I was not on the jury. She would not have gotten any settlement, I probably would have requested a retraining order banning her from ever ordering coffee from anyone. That case IMHO was stupidity meeting greed.

Why wasn't it all her fault - why would you put hot coffee between your legs - for that matter, why would you put any coffee between your legs while driving. I was mad at McD's when they gave her such a large amount. I maintain it was her fault.

It does seem like a catch 22 for us. Here is the perfect fabrics that our little ones want to have for their pj's, and here is the warning planted allover it.
Can't tell me that manufactorers don't know that they are enticing the unknowing among us. It is almost like they are daring us to use the fabrics for that cause so they can say "not my problem".
