The organizations, laws and guidelines you should be aware of to ensure your apparel orders are safe, socially responsible and compliant.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
The FTC is a federal organization charged with preventing "fraud, deception, and unfair business practices in the marketplace," for the American public. Its responsibilities are fairly broad, ranging from launching anti-trust cases to enforcing fair labeling on products, the latter of which is very much relevant to promotional apparel. The FTC enforces the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, the Textile Products Identification Act and Care Labeling of Textile Wearing Apparel & Certain Piece Goods act.
