Fabric Conditioner Flammability

Is this common knowledge? That using fabric conditioner can increase flammability? I probably always use more than the recommended dose of conditioner but it seems even the correct dose could be problematic as the small print advises against using on sleepwear. Pretty much everything my baby wears is sleepwear, at some stage or another. My 9 year old has clearly survived my carelessness up until now, but I have to admit this is going to become one of those things I worry about unreasonably now.

Bump!

I take it no one else has had any issues either and this is a disclaimer for thr wild possibility that something catches flame...?

I don't use fabric conditioner due to DD having eczema, just vinegar if needed.

I wasn't aware of that warning though. It reads to me that it maybe removes a treatment, as opposed to making it more flammable, if that makes sense

I never use it, you could stop if it worries you?

I am a fan of vinegar for cleaning but I think I'd miss the perfumed smell of fresh laundry if I didn't use fabric conditioner!

Also we don't have a tumble dryer so I find things would get quite crispy if I didn't use it (I don't use it on towels though as I like them to be crispy and stiff!)
