Quilters of Baby Products

There has been a buzz about fire retardant fabrics among people who quilt. And for those who operate a quilting business there is much concern if they are responsible for a quilt catching fire.
 
The possiblity of an infant or a young child being burnt in a quilt is usually a a rare incident: however, there are people who are making their quilts from 100% cotton and 100% cotton fill which are labeled and sold as fire retardant or fire repellent materials.
 
The scare is the polyester batting fill and other synthetics.
 
The problem with the synthetics is that the cloth will burn into the skin making matters worse for both the victim and the medical staff. Cotton will flame into ash. Yes, it will burn, but it will not stick or cling to the burning area.
 
As a business you may wish to check with an attorney for other precautions.
