I purchased flannel fabric from Joanns to make pj's for grandkids. I found when cutting out that it wasn't fire retardent. What do I do now? I wrote to Joanns, why do they sell kids flannel and not fire retardent. That is just crazy. Now what do I do with it. Any ideas? Help..................

I used to work at Joann's and at the first of the school year, teachers would come in looking for fire-retardant fabric. There was ONE choice, and it's awful. Can't rub your hand over it without it getting stuck in your fingerprints. Polyester melts and is definitely not a good choice for PJs, but at least cotton burns to ash.

Use it anyway? As others have said, the chemicals wash out over time anyhow. The other commercial guideline for pajamas is that if they are not flame retardant, they must be close fitting.
You probably didn't even think about flame retardant until you read the disclaimer on the fabric.
