Here's the background: a lady I know through work entered a knitted matinee jacket in a local craft show, and after the judging recieved a note back saying 'Well knitted garment, but for future reference please note that it is now against the law to have ribbons at the neck of a child's garment.'
OK, admittedly there's a safety issue and on reflection perhaps it was not the best choice of design, but 'against the law'? I can't find anything online to verify this and suspect an overzealous official has misinterpreted some guideline as being 'the law', but the lady in question is quite upset and I would like to clarify things for her one way or another. Has anyone ever heard such a thing and can they shed any light?
