Known Limits & Failure Modes

The highest regulatory-risk category on this site. Most bamboo textile is chemically regenerated viscose, and the US FTC has taken enforcement action against multiple brands for labelling such fabric simply as ‘bamboo’. Unless the fibre is mechanically processed bamboo linen — rare and expensive — the correct label is viscose or lyocell made from bamboo. Get the process in writing before you print a label.
