I know I have posted this before on other threads, but I will do it again. I had a very low volume Etsy shop selling mostly baby bibs and burp cloths. I came across information, rather accidentally, that FedGov requires all clothing items to be permanently tagged with info such as manufacturer, country of origin, fabric content, tracking numbers, small batch generator numbers, etc etc etc etc. If it’s a clothing item for anyone under 12 years old it must be tested for lead and flammability, but if you apply for your small batch generator number you can use certs from the company you bought your supply from to cover this. I thought, well, I’m only making bibs and burp cloths, not clothing. Oh no, bibs are considered clothing. There are regulation after regulation after regulation for a simple baby bib that must be followed. If the government decided to go after you for not following these rules, they could fine you $10,000 per item that you sold that does not follow their rules.

I closed my shop.
