What US Flammable Fabrics Act (15 USC ch 25): Flammability Standards for Apparel and Fabrics requires
The Flammable Fabrics Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 25) prohibits the manufacture for sale, sale and importation of highly flammable wearing apparel and interior furnishings, administered by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Section 1192 sets out the prohibited transactions: it is unlawful to manufacture for sale, to sell or offer for sale, or to import into the United States, any article of wearing apparel or interior furnishing, or any fabric or related material, that fails to conform to an applicable flammability standard or regulation issued under section 1193, and such conduct is an unfair method of competition and an unfair or deceptive act under the Federal Trade Commission Act. Section 1193 authorizes the Commission to issue flammability standards where needed to protect the public against unreasonable risk of the occurrence of fire leading to death, injury or significant property damage, supporting standards for items such as childrens sleepwear, mattresses and carpets. Section 1194 provides for enforcement, inspection and investigation. Section 1196 sets criminal penalties for a willful violation, and section 1197 provides a guaranty defense for a seller that relies in good faith on a supplier guaranty. The Act is the legal foundation for US textile and apparel flammability compliance.
