    It's Target brand so I can't be bothered trying to find out why - unless it's because there's a pillowcase in there and they're not recommended for under 12mths. Definately pre-washed them. Now just have to make the cot. I'm looking into the sleeping bag option on top of the sheets.

    Did just try to check online about why they wouldn't be safe and Target online doesn't stock flannlette cot sheets Have decided to use them, the flat & fitted sheets (but not the pillow cases) anyway. I did pre-wash the sets so there shouldn't be any trouble with dyes and stuff.
    jng1977 - they don't have the warning on the tags on the sheets though so I figure I can use them anyway.

    Yeah... its weird, I have no idea why the sheets have the warning tags on them! I have washed mine anyway, and plan on using the fitted sheet as normal, cant see any reason why they are different to any other cotton sheets.

    The ones I got were target brand as well, although not flanelette.. just regular cottong sheets ?? Beats me!

    I don't understand this either, I have used flanelette sheets for both my children and have never seen this warning

    I brought two sets from Target last week, I just went and checked the pack and it does have the warning. It's so small I didn't notice it before.

    I've prewashed one set and they are on the cot (baby will be in our room in a bassinette to start with)and I'm still planning on using them but would love an explanation as to why they aren't safe?? Seems ridiculous to sell a product designed for babies and then say it's not safe for them??

    I might have a look on the website and see if I can email someone about it.

    Will be interested to see if they come back with a response. Were both sets flanelette? and was the warning on the sheets as well as the packaging?

    Both sets were flanelette - I just checked the sheets and the warning doesn't appear to be on the sheets, only the packaging.
