Okay you are running a big youth event as a fund raiser and you need 300 youth tee shirts, or you are a summer camp and need youth tee shirts for your summer camp right.
So you call your distributor and place your order and everything is full steam ahead right, perfect. Then a few months later you hear that somebody got sick from the ink that is running off on your tshirts.
What happens now? Well, your garments should have a secondary tracking label on the inside that can can track the shirt back with the following information.
1. Decorator or distributors name
2. Month and year the decoration was applied
3.City and state where decoration was applied
4. Decorator or distributor internal batch number
5. Contact information.
Have the inks that were used tested by the screen printer. Did they buy inks that have excess lead in them etc?
Ignorance is no alibi anymore.
