I'm appalled. I hope clothing gets exempt. I have recently become very involved with the thrift store that benefits the public schools here. We know that many families rely on us (especially for kids' clothes) because we sell good condition clothing at affordable prices. All the other thrift stores in town put their prices up when the demand increased about a year ago.
wait a minute...who will benefit most if families on low budgets can no longer buy second hand clothes? Where is the next cheapest place to find clothes?..... WALMART. it's a conspiracy.....

One of the guys at work was bitching today, he tried to buy pajamas for his grandsons for Christmas and couldn't find any that were flame resistant.

He said all he could find is pajamas that had big warning labels that they were flammable. I don't know if he was looking for a particular design or pattern.

We got a sleeper recently for my son and forgot to wash it before letting him sleep in it. He was covered in a rash in the morning.
we washed it and gave him a week or two before reintroducing it to him, and he was fine sleeping in it. Those chemicals are nasty. |

Why don't they just make the clothing out of brick, or astronaut suits, or hazmat hats?

IMHO "flame retardant" is not nearly as important as "natural fibers." You want something that will catch on fire and burn (and can be put out quickly), not something that will melt on the kid's skin.

I can't understand what you're talking about unless somebody photoshops the thing you're describing.

Baby Gap sells 100% cotton untreated pj's. You have to buy them a few sizes bigger than normal (and they only go to size 5) because they are supposed to be skin tight (so they don't have to be fire proof). Some Gap kids stuff is ok, some Gymbo stuff, found some at Children's Place this year... everything else feels too gross. I just tell my kids not to smoke in bed.
