What to look at for this product

If your fleece baby romper uses a fleece shell, ask your factory for clothing flammability evidence identifying the fleece and any fabric backing used.

If your romper will be marketed as sleepwear, request the sleepwear test evidence for its intended size range and the finished garment design.

If your romper has a zipper or snaps, ask for lead testing evidence covering those fasteners and their surface finishes in the romper.

If your romper has several fabric panels, check the fiber and origin artwork against the fleece panels and the fabric used for cuffs.

If your romper is being labeled for retail, ask where its garment and packaging tracking marks will identify the factory and production batch.

If your romper is being imported for infant wear, you'll need its children's certificate identifying the complete fleece garment with its cuffs and closures.
