6.1.12 Trims and Decoration

The Federal Trade Commission has ruled that items attached to or made an integral part of a textile product, such as beads, sequins, sewn-on belts, linings, collars, ribbons, shoulder pads, and fasteners are expected to have the same qualities of colorfastness, dimensional stability, and appearance retention as the major component materials. Any failure of these parts in prescribed cleaning and finishing is considered a failure of the whole product and is the responsibility of the manufacturer.
