Do American women suck on fire extinguishers to get high? I don't get it...

No, all pajamas sold in the US must have flame retardant chemicals impregnated into the fabric. Same in Australia.

It gives the fabric a funny smell and in some cases causes a rash on the wearer. Japanese sleepwear isn't subject to the same regulations. I learnt this just a few weeks ago as some friends in the US always have their kids pajamas sent over by their Japanese grandparents.

There will be a red tag on the pajamas to say they are fire resistant.

I think the reason for this is because most house fires happen at night. I think that is why.. :roll:

In Australia the PJ's of all under eights must be flame retardant to slow down the instaces of the littlies catching fire when getting too close to heaters/fires in winter. Being old enough to remember the law being passed when at least two deaths and more injuries from burning kids a year were common I am at least a partial supporter of this idea. Think how often kids are dressed in PJ's for the evening and this makes more and more sence. The adult flame retardant PJ's is just a carry-over from the children's law as the manufacturers use the same specification for all sizes now in case a child wears a small Adult size. no humour in this post as I still cringe when i think of flaming pj's.
