i\u> IK Pw S> rM ?"Uli Sdly'V Flaming Fabrics \ Thousands of Americans are killed or injured each year by burns suffered vshen articles of clothing or other flammable fabrics catch fire. The Better Business Bureau urges consumers to learn how the federal government regulates flammable fabrics to reduce these risks, and what they can do the reduce - them further. Articles of clothing are involved in more than half of the accidents in which burning fabrics cause injury and about three fourths of those resulting in hospitalization, according to recent estimates of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commision (CPSC). Clothing textiles were the first fabrics tc> be regulated under the Flammable Fabrics Act, passed by Congress in 1953. The clothing textile standards, dating from 1954, apply to articles of wearing apparel except for interlining fabrics and certain hats, gloves and footwear. They require that a piece of fabric be placed in a holder at a 45-degree angle and be exposed to a flame for one second. The fabric must not ignite and spread flame up the length of the sample in less than 3.5 seconds for smooth fabrics or four seconds for napped fabrics. Children are involved in flammable fabric accidents to a greater extent, in percentage terms, than any other age group. The CPSC estimates that children under the age of'five are victims 13.1 ?7o of the time, even though they make up only 8.6^0 of the U.S. population. Accordingly, Consumer hps the major flammable fabric regulation activities of the 1970s involved children's sleepwear. Nightgowns, pajamas, t robes and other sleepwear, up to size 6X, except for diapers and underwear, are subject to a more stringent test than the one applied to i _ ^ t - cioming textiles in general. Five strips of fabric, each 10 inches long, are suspended and exposed to a small gas flame for three seconds. The average char length for all five strips must be no more than seven inches, and none of them is permitted to char for the full 10 inches. The test must be repeatable after the strips have been washed and dried 50 times. It applies to fabrics intended for use in sleepwear as well as articles of sleepwear. There are similar, sjightly less demanding requirements for sleepwear in sizes 7 through 14. Manufacturers have been required to meet children's sleepwear flammability standards since 1973 (for sizes through 6X) and 1975 (sizes 7 through 14]. Products may or may not be labeled flame resistant, but the government does require a label with instructions on how to launder garments without causing deterioration of their flame resistance. In general, this involves using phosphate-based detergents instead of soaps, or nonphosphate detergents! and warm water instead of hot water, plus avoiding1 chlorine bleach. A heavyduty liquid laundry detergent whould be substituted for a phosphatebased detergent in areas where the dse of phosphates js prohibited.
