In much the same way, when it comes to organic apparel, distributors may be feeling the familiar, nervous discomfort of worrying about a guarantee. The demand for eco-friendly organics is growing greater and greater, but it’s coming at a time when product liability is also the highest it’s ever been. With the recent problems and concerns over product safety, it’s only logical to assume distributors should extend the caution given to drinkware or children’s toys to organic apparel as well. Unfortunately, verifying a product as organic may be more complicated than avoiding buying a lemon, or even checking drinkware for lead. That’s not to say that verification is impossible, however. A little research and diligence can go a long way to making sure an order intended as organic apparel isn’t actually a heap of old tires liberally coated in BPA.
