It is our CYA society. Because if the manufacturers don't put it on the label someone WILL sue them.

I prefer the natural fabrics to the chemically treated ones any day of the week.

Cheers, K

And slightly off topic - why can't I find some of the cute prints in MY size. Sure a tween or teen might not appreciate the whimsy of some of the designs. But Moms with a sense of humor definitely appreciate the whimsy.

I guess I can always include a note, please do not set fire to the baby, lol. I don't believe either parent smokes, either.

If I understand what you are asking, I too have wondered why they don't offer a better vaiety of prints for older children and for adults out of these wonderful flannels. I have to look high and low before buying one I don't think is too infantile or babyish for my jammies. One reason I guess why so many of mine are plain. I live in jammies in the winter - warmer and more comfortable.

We were just talking about the silly , to us, things that are put on tags. But remember most of the time if it says something, some fool did it. On my blow dryer, Do not immerse in water while plugged in, well Duh!
And when was the last time You gave a plastic bag to a child to play with? LOL

Very well said! BTW, Did you know that using fabric softeners increases the flammibility? And who doesn't use that for all our sleepwear -- and the rest of our laundry.

Glad I was raised before we knew all these things that HAD to be regulated by someone besides ourselves. It might be we knew the time of Freedom with Responsiblity.
