Our response was delayed due to laboratory analysis of the garment. The remaining portion of the sample is being retained for our files. Style N7238 is a women’s brief. The lined garment is constructed from 80% Nylon 20% spandex knitted fabric which is visibly coated on the outer surface with plastic. The garment features elastic leg openings and an encased elastic waist. The laboratory analyzed the garment and determined that the coating applied to the briefs is a non-clear, polyurethane plastic. You also requested classification of Style N7238C. No sample was provided, however, you state it is a girl’s version of the women’s brief constructed from the same 80% nylon 20% spandex fabric.
