Historically and persisting to this day, there has been a barbaric attitude toward gruesome and fatal injuries from flammable fabrics. Reliable burn injury data show hundreds of garment burn injury fatalities, annually and morbidly, painfully, and permanently injured victims form flammable fabrics. Industrial representatives argue that the total number of injuries is small and that the cost-benefits to the vast majority preponderantly favor the status quo. The children's sleepwear laws have dramatically reduced the frightful, destructive injuries to innocent children and safer fabrics are appearing in the stream of commerce. An effective warning label on dangerous garment fabrics would help build a market for safer clothing and enable the consumer to choose safer garments. More importantly, an effective warning label would reduce the number of dangerous flammable fabric victims. This text places an emphasis on the value of a warning label, which should be mandated on all new clothing to reduce the flammable fabric injuries and fatalities each year. It is especially important to alert mothers of flammable fabric risk to protect their children. Currently, the largest fatality groups are children 2-5 years of age and senior citizens over age 65. The author hopes to promote the use of an effective warning label to circumvent fabric burn injuries and to reduce disfiguring and fatal burn injuries.

The steadily growing demand for industrial textiles, the new materials used and the new quality requirements have resulted in the development of new, unconventional, high-productivity production techniques in recent decades. All these new techniques feature reduced production cost and short-cut production processes. The advent of synthetic fibres exhibiting characteristics never associated with textile raw materials before, such as high strength, elasticity, uniformity, chemical resistance, microvegetation and humidity, reduced or even complete inflammability, resistance to abrasion and flexing, and many other properties, which have to some extent been programmed into the fibre production process has had a vital influence on the development of industrial textiles. As a result of the synthetic fibres which can be tailored to give the performance characteristics required, the range of industrial textiles has rapidly widened and even extended to application areas never covered by textiles before. Industrial textiles have in fact, recently been introduced as construction materials where the use of textiles was previously inconceivable.
