Flammable Fabrics Act

New Jersey · Administration of Civil and Criminal Justice · §§ 2A:123-10 to 2A:123-9 · 22 sections

Overview

The act regulates the flammability of wearing apparel and fabrics, prohibiting the manufacture, sale, holding for sale, or transportation for sale of articles deemed highly flammable, and extending a similar ban to sleeping bags and tents that are not flame resistant. It defines the covered terms, directs an enforcing authority to establish flammability standards and to issue, file, amend, and revise implementing regulations, and permits inspection of places where covered articles are manufactured or sold. Enforcement rests on injunctions and confiscation proceedings alongside criminal penalties, tempered by exemptions — including goods in transit or being held for delivery — and by relief from penalty for a person who holds a supplier's or manufacturer's guaranty of flame resistance.
