16 CFR Part 423 — Care Labeling of Textile Wearing Apparel and Certain Piece Goods
A care label is defined as a permanent tag that stays attached and legible for the useful life of the product, not a paper insert that goes out with the packaging.
The rule makes it an unfair practice to publish care instructions without a reasonable basis for them established before the sale.
Warnings about what would harm the item — or anything washed with it — belong on the label alongside the regular instructions.

Soft objects and loose bedding belong outside an infant’s sleep area: the list names quilts, comforters, pillows, blankets, non-fitted sheets and bumper pads by name.
The stated risks are entrapment, suffocation and strangulation — a baby can roll into any of these items and have their airflow blocked.
The sleep surface itself should be firm and flat, in a crib, bassinet, portable crib or play yard, with nothing inclined more than 10 degrees.

STANDARD 100 certifies that every component of an article — thread, button and accessory included — has been tested against a list of over 1,000 harmful substances.
The requirements tighten as skin contact increases, so bedding sits in a stricter class than an outer garment.
The certificate belongs to a specific tested article and its number can be checked in the issuer’s own label-check register.

No secondhand summaries of standards, no blog-spam citations, and no source we have not read. Where a claim on this site has no entry here, it is the catalogue's own data — a price, a size, a rating pool — and its check date is printed where it appears.
