ATTACHMT: ATTACHED TO 6/30/95 LETTER FROM JOHN WOMACK TO DENISE JONES (A43; STD. 213)

TEXT: Dear Ms. Fujita:

As we discussed on the phone, attached is a xerox copy of the brochure describing our product. This pillow is designed specifically for use with booster car seats to provide support and comfort while the child is sleeping.

Approximately one year ago, I spoke with you on the phone regarding Federal regulations governing the flame retardancy of the fabric used to manufacture our product. At that time, your response was that there are no codes to govern this accessory.

We are now taking this product to the marketplace. Specifically, our local Wal-Mart store has purchased our pillow, however, we need to provide them with your response to us in writing. Would you please direct your reply to NiMi Manufacturing, Inc. so that we may provide retailers such as Wal-Mart with a copy. Their only concern was regarding the regulations of flame retardancy.

I certainly appreciate the time you have taken to talk with me, and the cooperation you have shown. NiMi is a very, very small business. Needless to say, your help and expediency is greatly appreciated, especially now that a major retailer is carrying our product. Perhaps we won't be small too much longer!

Please call me at (615) 636-5337 when you receive this. I'll be glad to answer any further questions you may have. Thanks again.
