when designing apparel for children
it's important to take safety into
account. it may be the case that
regulations demand a flame-retardant
finish on children's sleepwear fabrics;
however, these finishes may expose
children to the chemicals and heavy
metals used in the finishing . more
research is needed to confirm the
long-term,low-exposure health effects
of flame-retardent finishes on children.
these same chemicals may also have
a long-term negative impact on the
environment
