I read a letter Ms Falvey wrote (posted on CPSC's website) in which she advises that in general apparel is not included - with the exception of sleepwear and bibs because of the wording regarding products intended for aiding sleep or feeding. On the FAQ part of the CPSC's website regarding this issue the question is asked about whether apparel, bedding, etc is considered durable goods and they answer it saying that textile is not considered durable goods. Correct me if I am wrong but it would appear that ordinary children's clothing isn't part of this law.
