US. The Flammable Fabrics Act is an act passed in 1953 to regulate the manufacture of highly flammable clothing. It was enacted after a series of tragic deaths in the 1940s involving children wearing long rayon piles of cowboy piles or brushed rayon sweaters. The Federal Trade Commission was initially placed as an enforcement authority but this responsibility was later transferred to the Consumer Product Safety Commission in 1967 when the law was amended to include interior furnishings, paper, plastics, foams, and other materials used in wearing clothing and interior furnishings. The Consumer Products Safety Commission is authorized, under the US Flammable Fabrics Act, to issue mandatory burning standards. Flammable standards for textile clothing, vinyl plastic films in clothing, carpets, rugs, children's sleepwear, mattresses and mattress pads have all been set.
