At the University University of Guelph, consumer studies professor Anne Wil- cock has been testing fabrics fabrics to determine if they are acceptable under the new regulations. Each year, about40 Canadian children are burned because their sleepers, pyjamas or nightgowns nightgowns catch fire. Wilcock says the new legislation, based on U.S. laws in place since 1974, is much more stringent than current regulations. Fabrics Fabrics are now tested for burning burning on a 45-degree angle. But after September, the vertical (90-degree angle) burn or char length will determine determine flammability of fabrics used in loose-fitting styles like nightgowns and robes. Manufacturers of children's sleepwear will Falling Tree Cuts Power For an Hour A simple act of nature caused the loss of power to Bowmanville and Newcastle Newcastle Village yesterday for more than an hour. A tree fell onto the hydro line that feeds the Bowmanville Bowmanville High School, resulting in the disruption of service. Both Bowmanville and Newcastle Village are fed off a 44,000 volt line from the Cherrywood 1 control centre west of the towns. When the power went out, Newcastle Electric Hydro, with the help of Ontario Hydro began to track the source of the disruption.; Patrols from Newcastle Hydro eventually found the fallen tree and when it was removed, power returned to both areas. Orono was not affected by the loss of power because their hydro is supplied from a different line. be considerably affected by the new regulations. Johnson and Johnson Baby Products Co. of Guelph is interested in the new regulations and their influence on infant safety. The company donated a flammability tester to the University of Guelph and provided funds for Wilcock to test fabrics from both Canadian and American markets. Wilcock tested fabrics similar to those now being used for sleepwear in the United States, which are 100 per cent polyester, as well as the cotton flannelette flannelette traditionally used for children's sleepwear in Canada. Cotton flannelette is highly flammable and especially dangerous for long, flowing garments when these are worn by children who are not aware of the dangers of open flames and don't know what to do if their clothing ignites. ignites. Most of the polyester fabrics fabrics were rendered flame retardant by the addition of a chemical to the molten solution before the fibres were formed. One fabric had flame retardant applied to the surface, known as a topical application. application. ' Although several of the tested fabrics would pass the new regulations, all ignited to some degree. Manufacturers of readymade readymade clothing must follow the new regulations when choosing fabrics for certain styles of children's sleep- wear up to size 14X. Loose, flowing garments--nightgowns, garments--nightgowns, nightshirts, tailored pyjamas and baby doll's-- that catch fire more easily, will only be available in less flammable fabrics like polyester and nylon. Tighter fitting and safer styles, such as polo pyjamas and infant sleepers, can follow follow existing regulations and will be available in currently currently used fabrics like cotton cotton and cotton blends, Wilcock is now testing a topically flame-retardant fabric under different laun dering conditions with hard and soft water, various soaps and detergents. She says the soap film that forms in hard water masks the resistance to burning in both inherently and topically topically flame-retardant fabrics. fabrics. Warnings about a possible possible connection between improper washing and fabric fabric fammability already appear appear on packaging for the leading Canadian infant laundry soap and in Sears catalogues in the United States. The Department of Consumer Consumer and Corporate Affairs Affairs is planning a national children's sleepwear information information campaign to educate educate the public about fire hazards, what style of children's children's sleepwear to buy and how to reduce the risk of burn accidents. September's legislation will likely bring higher clothing costs as fabric manufacturers adjust to producing materials that meet the new regulations, Wilcocksays. Bowmanville High School.
