Few Questions

I have a few questions and would appreciate any help!

*Is a Sharpie Marker CPSIA compliant? Could that be used on the label to mark manufacturing date? If a sharpie is not compliant, any idea on what pen to use?

*Do things like "Babylegs" need labels? I don't personally make these, but a few of my friends do and they were curious about this.... Babylegs are made from socks. Socks do not need to have labels, but what about when they are turned into babylegs?

*Can I have a link to CPSIA buttons? Does that mean I won't be able to just buy my buttons at Joann's?

Thanks so much!

Re: Few Questions

Socks don't need to have FTC labels, has nothing to do with CPSIA labels. There haven't been any exceptions made for any children's products as to CPSIA labeling. But you could use a hangtag with the labeling information on it, as labels on any socks would interfere with the use, (which is one of the only allowable changes to the permanent rule) in my estimation.

As to Sharpies, I believe the ink washes off. If you need them for fabric items like garments make them yourself on your inkjet printer, use a date coding like I do, JFMAMJJASOND12, some people use W S S F for the seasons, and take a few stitches under the date corresponding to the month and year or season.

As to buttons, check with the button manufacturer. I think Lansing (which makes a ton of buttons sold at Joanns), will give you testing information, if you give them the item numbers. But they don't have to test, and they don't have to give you any information if they don't want to.

Re: Few Questions

Thanks for your help! So, for my friends that make the babylegs (basically baby leg warmers), they don't need to do anything different? Just keep making their stuff? No label needed as long as they can provide info on where they purchased the socks?

Thanks for all your other help! Much appreciated!
