Abstract
- The article reports that the U.S. Commerce Department has said that beginning in July of 1973 it will ban the sale of any children's sleepwear that has not been flameproofed. The Commerce Department in the beginning of August 1971 overrode the objections of manufacturers in this regard. It has been estimated by the Government in the U.S. that 3,000 to 5,000 Americans die each year from burns, many associated with flammable clothing and interior furnishings.
